You can configure the required information to notify storage system failure (SIM) by email.
Note: If no alert is sent to the Syslog server after you perform this procedure, check and correct the settings as described in the following procdure. If the settings are correct, check the settings and operating status of the Syslog server and the operating status of the management LAN.
- You must have a Storage Administrator account with an Initial Configuration role to perform this task.
- You must have a mail server that supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The storage system uses PLAIN or LOGIN of SMTP authentication (SMTP-AUTH) to connect to the mail server. CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 of SMTP-AUTH are not supported.
- If a firewall is used, port 25 must be released because port 25 is used for communication between the storage system and the mail server.
