Email Alerts (Configuration) This page is used to set up details of the email servers that will be used to route messages about the HP D2D Backup System and to specify up to four email recipients. Messages are generated if a disk fails or reaches its threshold capacity, if the system reboots, if there are network problems or if there is a critical hardware failure. Email alerts are also generated for tape attach 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 D2D 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 operating systems, such as Linux, have a Sendmail program included. Sendmail uses the SMTP protocol to receive and, if necessary, forward on e-mail messages. To configure email settings, the HP D2D Backup System must be on the same network as an SMTP server that it can use. • Click Edit to make the fields editable. Make changes, as appropriate and click Update. • Once you have created a recipient's email address, use the Test button to make sure emails can be sent successfully. 74 The Web Management Interface
