The Network configuration screen appears (see FIGURE 4-1). Use this screen to enable or disable DHCP and set DNS. If you disable DHCP, you must manually supply the IP address, the netmask, and the gateway.

Configuring E-mail Notification

The E-mail Notification screen enables you to configure the e-mail recipients for any ELOM generated events. The system allows you to designate up to 10 recipients. e- mail notification is used in conjunction with Platform Event Filters (PEF). PEFs are event traps that allow you to associate an action, or a set of actions, with the occurrence of a specific event. One such action is mail notification. The Send Mail action is enabled in the Platform Event Filter screen and configured in the E-mail Notification screen.

The Enable E-mail Notification screen appears. You must supply the name of the SMTP server and the sender and designate the receiver e-mail addresses.

Configuring Platform Event Filters

The Platform Event Filter option allows you to configure actions for system generated events. A system generated event is an alert that occurs when a threshold for a system sensor is reached. For example, the system uses the sensors to monitor various critical components. The components are most effective when operating within a specific range. The limits of that range are defined as thresholds. All components, such as fans, have an upper and lower critical threshold (see “To Monitor Fans” on page 23). When either critical threshold is crossed the system generates an alert. For example a fan failure would cause an alert for the lower critical threshold. You can configure an event filter to trigger off the alert and perform one or several actions. These actions include:
