Broadcast Tab
The Broadcast tab enables you to set up broadcast distribution lists for HP Rack and Power Manager to recognize. You can set up recognized IP addresses to receive broadcast alerts when various alarm conditions occur, using the Event Response screens for CMCs and UPSs.
IMPORTANT: Any computer running Linux that will be sending or receiving broadcasts must have the Samba packages installed, configured, and running. If the computer running Linux is to receive broadcasts, Samba must be told how to display the received message by adding a message command statement to the Global Settings section of the SMB.CONF file, such as the following:
message command = /bin/csh -c 'cat %s wall; rm %s' &
This statement tells Samba to route the broadcast message to the wall command, which will display the message on the system (either in a terminal window, at the console, or in a popup message, depending on the display environment), then delete the message. The Samba processes must be restarted after editing the SMB.CONF file to enable the changes. For more information, refer to the Samba documentation at http://www.samba.org.
In addition, for a Linux Management Server to send broadcasts to either Windows systems, Linux systems, or both, entries must be added to the /etc/hosts file on the Management Server for each host name to which it will broadcast.
For example, to broadcast from a Linux Management Server to a Windows workstation named “george” at IP address 143.85.41.121, add the following line to the hosts file:
143.85.41.121 george
