Email Alerts (Co
nfiguration)
This page is use
d to set up details of the email servers that will be used to route messages about the H P
D2D Backup Syst
em and to specify up to four em ail recipients. Messages are generated if a disk fails or
reaches its thr
eshold capa city, if the system reboots, if there are network problems or if there is a critical
hardware failure. Email alerts are also generated for tape at tach activities, when there is a separate
tape drive connected to the HP D2D Backup System and the user is importing data from it, copying or
exporting data to it, or scheduling tasks to carry out these activities.
The HP StorageWorks D 2D Backup System uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), which is the
established standard for transferring mail over the internet. Microsoft Exchange has a virtual SMTP server
available which can be used to receive these emails and forward onward if necessary. Unix o perating
systems, su
ch as Linux, have a Se ndmail program included. Sendmail uses the SMTP protocol to receive
and, if nece
ssary, forward on e-mail messages.
To configure
email settings, the HP D2 D Backup System must be on the same net work as an SMTP
server that it can use.
