Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32

Task 13: Test Remote Notification (Optional)

If the call-home and e-mail notification features are enabled, set up the HAFM application to test these remote notification features. Because the features are configured at the HAFM application, call-home and e-mail notification are enabled for multiple switches or HP managed products. To test remote notification:

1.Close the Hardware View page for the switch and return to the Product View page by closing the window.

2.At the Product View page, choose Maintenance > Test Remote Notification. The Test Remote Notification dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 2–35.

3.Choose Call Home and E-Mailto perform applicable tests.

The call home test provides a test notification message to a remote support center. Depending on the option chosen during HAFM installation, the test notification message is transmitted over telephone lines or LAN.

4.Click Send Test. Call-home and e-mail test messages are transmitted and an Information dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 2–36. Click OK to close the dialog box.

5.Verify with recipients that call-home and e-mail notifications were received.
