11 Call Home configuration NOTE: The 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Call Home service provides an e-mail notification capability for the switch. This service has no relationship with the HP Call Home feature, which notifies HP services. This section describes the following topics: • Call Home concepts, page 111 • Configuring the Call Home service, page 114 • Managing the Call Home database, page 115 • Testing a Call Home profile, page 121 • Changing Simple Mail Transfer Protocol servers, page 121 • Clearing the Call Home message queue, page 121 • Resetting the Call Home database, page 122 Call Home concepts The Call Home service improves fabric availability by notifying administrators by e-mail of events that affect switch operation. The Call Home service is active by default and is controlled by the set setup services command. To display the Call Home service status, enter the show setup services command. For a better understanding of the Call Home service, consider the following: • Call Home requirements, page 111 • Call Home messages, page 112 • Technical support interface, page 113 Call Home requirements In addition to enabling the Call Home service, you must also do the following to ensure that e-mail messages can be sent: • Configure the Call Home service. The Call Home service configuration consists of primary and secondary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server specifications and contact information. You must enable and specify an address and service port for at least one SMTP server. See "Configuring the Call Home service" on page 114. • Configure the Call Home database. The Call Home database allows up to 25 Call Home profiles. Each profile defines the following: • Event severity levels (Alarm, Critical, Warn) that will initiate an e-mail message • E-mail message format and subject • E-mail recipients Having multiple profiles makes it possible to notify different audiences based on any combination of event severity, message format (short or full), or message length. You configure profiles using the profile command in a Callhome Edit session. See "Managing the Call Home database" on page 115. • Ensure that each switch that is to support Call Home e-mail notification has its own Ethernet connection. To test your Call Home service and database configurations, enter the callhome test command. See "Testing a Call Home profile" on page 121. 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide 111

Call Home configuration

NOTE:

The 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Call Home service provides an e-mail notification capability for

the switch. This service has no relationship with the HP Call Home feature, which notifies HP services.

This section describes the following topics:

•

Call Home concepts

, page111

•

Configuring the Call Home service

, page114

•

Managing the Call Home database

, page115

•

Testing a Call Home profile

•

, page 122

Call Home concepts

The Call Home service improves fabric availability by notifying administrators by e-mail of events that

affect switch operation. The Call Home service is active by default and is controlled by the

set setup services

command. To display the Call Home service status, enter the

show setup services

command.

For a better understanding of the Call Home service, consider the following:

•

Call Home requirements

, page111

•

Call Home messages

, page112

•

Technical support interface

, page113

Call Home requirements

In addition to enabling the Call Home service, you must also do the following to ensure that e-mail

messages can be sent:

•

Configure the Call Home service. The Call Home service configuration consists of primary and

secondary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server specifications and contact information. You must

enable and specify an address and service port for at least one SMTP server. See ”

Configuring the Call

Home service

” on page114.

•

Configure the Call Home database. The Call Home database allows up to 25 Call Home profiles. Each

profile defines the following:

•

Event severity levels (Alarm, Critical, Warn) that will initiate an e-mail message

•

E-mail message format and subject

•

E-mail recipients

Having multiple profiles makes it possible to notify different audiences based on any combination of

event severity, message format (short or full), or message length. You configure profiles using the

profile

command in a Callhome Edit session. See ”

Managing the Call Home database

” on

page 115.

•

Ensure that each switch that is to support Call Home e-mail notification has its own Ethernet connection.

To test your Call Home service and database configurations, enter the

callhome test

command. See

”

Testing a Call Home profile

” on page 121.
