Setting the SMTP server

Configure an SMTP server for VRTSweb.

To set the SMTP server from the command line

• Run any of the following commands on the system where VRTSweb is installed:

  webgui smtp setserver server_ip/hostname

  webgui smtp delserver

  The setserver command sets the SMTP server to the specified hostname/IP address. The delserver command deletes the SMTP server setting and disables SMTP notification.

  Example (UNIX):

  /opt/VRTSweb/bin/webgui smtp setserver smtphost.company.com

  /opt/VRTSweb/bin/webgui smtp setserver 101.1.2.3

  /opt/VRTSweb/bin/webgui smtp delserver

To set the SMTP server from the Web Console

1. Access the Web server on a configured port. For example, http://hostname:8181/
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click Configure SMTP Server on the left side of the Configuration page.
4. In the Configure SMTP Server dialog box:
   • Enter the IP address or hostname of the SMTP server to be used for notification. An empty string disables notification.
   • Enter the name and password for a user having superuser (administrative) privileges on the Web server system.
   • Click OK.
