mgt_mailalert
Use this variable to configure email alerts.
The procedure for setting up email alerts varies slightly, depending on which
method you use. You can specify up to eight email addresses.
From the ALOM command shell:
- To specify a value (or values) for this variable, use the setupsc
command.
- To view the current value, use the showsc
command.
- To change the value(s), use the setsc
command.
Using the scadm utility:
- To view the current value for this variable, use the show
command.
- To change the value, use the set
command.
How to Use the setupsc Command
to Set the mgt_mailalert Variable
- At the sc> prompt, type
the following command:
sc> setupsc
The setupsc script prompts
you as follows:
Enter the number of email recipients
to configure [0]? 2
- Type the number of email recipients.
The default value, 0, appears in brackets after the prompt.
For each recipient you specify, the script asks the following question, substituting
<n> for the number of
the recipient it is currently configuring (for example, if you enter 2 as
in the above example, you are prompted to configure email alerts for address
1, and then for address 2).
Enter the email address for recipient
<n> (maximum of 30 characters) []? johnsmith@sysadmin.com
- Type the email address of the recipient, as shown in the above example.
ALOM accepts email addresses of up to 30 characters. The script then asks:
Enter the level of events to send
to recipient <n> where valid settings are 1 (critical), 2 (critical
and major) and 3 (critical, major and minor) [2]?
- Type the response that corresponds to the levels of alerts you want sent
to the recipient.
How to Use the setsc Command
to Change the mgt_mailalert Variable
At the sc> prompt, type the
following command:
sc> setsc mgt_mailalert
email level
where email is the email address to which you want the alert sent, and
level is the the level of alerts (critical, major, or minor) you want
sent.
For example:
sc> setsc mgt_mailalert kevin@abc.com
1
To remove a mgt_mailalert entry,
specify the values for this variable again, omitting the alert level. For example,
to remove the entry for the previous example, type the following:
sc> setsc mgt_mailalert kevin@abc.com
