Configuring SMTP email notification

You can choose to configure VCS to send event notifications to SMTP e-mail services. You need to provide the SMTP server name and e-mail addresses of people to be notified. Note that it is also possible to configure notification after installation. Refer to the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide for more information.

 To configure SMTP email notification

1. Review the required information to configure the SMTP email notification.
2. Specify whether you want to configure the SMTP notification. Do one of the following:
   • To configure SMTP notification, press Enter.

     Do you want to configure SMTP notification? [y,n,q] (y) y

   • To skip configuring SMTP notification and advance to configuring SNMP notification, enter n.

     See Configuring SNMP trap notification.

3. Provide information to configure SMTP notification.
   • Enter the SMTP server's host name.

     Enter the domain-based hostname of the SMTP server

     (example: smtp.yourcompany.com): [b,?] smtp.example.com
