IBM DR550 manual Configuring the e-mail server

IBM System Storage DR550 Version 3.0 ------ 17 March 2006 Page 101

1.Open the DS4100 Storage Manager client Enterprise Management window.

2.Double click on the storage system that you want to rename. The Subsystem Management window opens.

3.Click Storage Subsystem --> Rename. The Rename Storage Subsystem window opens.

4.Type the new name for the subsystem. You must use the following naming convention for the new name; any errors in the format of the new name can result in delays or denial of IBM service support. The new name cannot contain more than 30 characters. The format for the new name is:

ttttmmm/sssssss#cust_nodeid_reference

Where:

-tttt is the 4-digit IBM machine type of the product (you will use 1724)

-mmm is the 3-digit IBM model number for the product (you will use 100)

-/ is the required separator

-sssssss is the 7-digit IBM serial number for the machine

-# is the required separator

-cust_nodeid_reference is the node ID as referenced by the customer

IMPORTANT: No extra characters are allowed before the "#" separator.

The following is an example of a new storage subsystem name:

1724100/23A1234#IBM_Eng

5.Click OK to save the new name.

6.To synchronize the controller clock with the time in the DS4000 Storage Server management

station that monitors the alerts, go to the Storage Management window. Select Storage System --> Set Controller Clock. Click OK when the confirmation window opens.

This step is optional. If performed, it facilitates the trouble-shooting session because the time that the alert e-mail is sent is about the same as the time that the errors occurred in the DS4100 Storage Server.

Steps 1 - 6 must be performed for each of the DS4100s within the DR550. Note: The only configuration with a second DS4100 is the 89.6 TB offering.

1.From the DS4000 Storage Manager client Enterprise Management window, select Edit --> Configure Mail Server.

The Configure Mail Server dialog window opens.

2. Type the following information in the appropriate text boxes:
