Hi ,

You can use following iloCmdlets to alert mail on ILO

1) Set-HPiLOGlobalSetting :- For more details please check help of this cmdlet.

2) Get-HPiLOGlobalSetting :- to check the status of ALert mail

Example :-

Set-HPiLOGlobalSetting -Server xxxxxx -Username xxxx -Password xxxx - AlertMail Enabled -AlertMailEmail xyz@domain.com -AlertMailSenderDomain domian.com -AlertMailSMTPServer XXXXXxXXXX

Please execute the cmdlet as per above example.

Verify the same by executing Get-HPILOGlobalSetting.

Thanks

I Had to do this as I kept getting an error

Set-HPiLOGlobalSetting -Server $server -Credential $ilocreds -AlertMail Enable -AlertMailEmail "$AlertMailEmail" -AlertMailSenderDomain "$domain" -AlertMailSMTPPort 25 -AlertMailSMTPServer "$emailServer"

All these params had to be included for the command to work

Hi guys

I tried the below command to configure Alert mail and is successful, but hpoaalertmail command is missing the properties (attached the screenshot) of AlertSenderName, Alert Sender Domain, and Alert Sender E-mail.

Set-HPOAAlertmail -Connection $connection -State Enable -Email xxxx@hp.com -Domain China.com -SMTPServer
xx.xx.xx.xx

Can you guys please suggest how to configure these details in HP Blade Enclosure.

As of now Set-HPOAAlertMail does not provides the parameter to set the sender username and sender domain name.

If you want to configure it you can use OA CLI command or OA web GUI.

Set-HPEOAAlrtMail with new parametrs will be vailable by August end.

Thanks for the reply Zahidi.

I think using OA CLI command we need the login to into every blade enclosure and set the Alert mail. We have around 30 blade Enclosure and it is going to take time to configure them with Alert mail.

Hi Abdul,

Yes you need to login on each enclosure and do the setting.

As per your requirement you are looking for following settings

SenderDomain :- actually the -Domain parameter is for the sender domain.

SenderName and SenderEmail :- This feature is not available through Set-HPOAAlertMail, This will be available in upcoming release.
