HP Proliant Micro Gen8 ILO Alert Mail

[PizzaPepperoni]

Hi,

I am using an HP Gen8.  I bought a licence for the ilo board now. My problem is, that I cannot setup the ilo alert mail.

Is there a possibility to use this with a freemailer like gmail, or gmx? Thx in advance

It is intended for a local mail server, more or less.

from guide:

AlertMail options
• Email Address—The destination email address for iLO email alerts. This string can be up
to 63 characters and must be in standard email address format. You can enter only one
email address.
• Sender Domain—The domain name specified in the sender (From) email address. The
sender email address is formed by using the iLO name as the host name, and the sender
domain as the domain name. This string can be up to 63 characters.
• SMTP Port—The port that the SMTP server will use for unauthenticated SMTP connections.
The default value is 25.
• SMTP Server—The IP address or DNS name of the SMTP server or the MSA. This server
cooperates with the MTA to deliver the email. This string can be up to 63 characters.

Hmm. I have no. I read this, but no choice.

Using also office365, which will not work. So I have no chance?

Obviously someone used this with gmail, see https://community.saas.hpe.com/t5/Remote-Lights-Out-Mgmt-iLO-2-iLO/iLO-4-AlertMail-email-address-restriction-set-by-CLI-instead/td-p/804244

Thx for reply. As far as I understand, it should (only) work from may normal gmail account with Restricted Gmail SMTP server

Using : my gmail email

sender Domain : gmail.com (?)

Port 25

smtp server : aspmx.l.google.com

I appreciate all of you help as I just bought this licence but forget to check  if I can use it for this... thx.

... just saw, it will not work with my normal account. 

Is there any windows management tool that will alert me via mail, when f.e. a hard disk is damage und Windows Server 2012 or 16 guest in vmware?

Good Question. I was always think the iLO can unique process the email alert.

I have report the case for support team, but cannot solve the problem.
