Registering for Email Notification of System Events

Users with administrative duties may register for automatic e-mail notification of system events, including system boot events, and for ACSLS-HA systems cluster fail-over events.

To register for such events, users must add their e-mail address in the respective files under the directory:

$ACS_HOME/data/external/email_notification/
  boot_notification
  ha_failover_notification

Place the e-mail address of each intended recipient on a single line under the header remarks. Thereafter, every time the system boots, or the HA cluster fails over to the standby node, each registered user is notified by e-mail.

This capability assumes that the sendmail service has been enabled on the ACSLS server, and that network firewall constraints allow for e-mail communication from the data center.
