IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide

V7000 can send syslog messages that notify personnel about an event. IBM Flex System  
V7000 can transmit syslog messages in either expanded or concise format. You can use a 
syslog manager to view the syslog messages that IBM Flex System V7000 sends. IBM 
Flex System V7000 uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to transmit the syslog 
message. You can use the management GUI or the IBM Flex System V7000 
command-line interface to configure and modify your syslog settings

Email

An event notification can be sent to one or more email addresses. This mechanism notifies 
individuals of problems. Individuals can receive notifications wherever they have email 
access which includes mobile devices.

The Call Home feature transmits operational and error-related data to you and IBM through a
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server connection in the form of an event notification 
email. When configured, this function alerts IBM service personnel about hardware failures 
and potentially serious configuration or environmental issues. You can use the call home 
function if you have a maintenance contract with IBM or if the IBM Flex System V7000 is 
within the warranty period.

To send email, you must configure at least one SMTP server. You can specify as many as five 
additional SMTP servers for backup purposes. The SMTP server must accept the relaying of 
email from the IBM Flex System V7000 clustered system IP address. You can then use the 
management GUI or the IBM Flex System V7000 command-line interface to configure the 
email settings, including contact information and email recipients. Set the reply address to a 
valid email address. Send a test email to check that all connections and infrastructure areset 
up correctly. 

You can configure Call Home differently, depending on whether IBM Flex System V7000 
includes FSM or not. 

You configure Call Home on the IBM Flex System V7000 by enabling Email Event Notification 
via the management GUI. 

You also configure Call Home on CMM to cover chassis related problems, which are relevant 
to IBM Flex System V7000 operation. CMM performs Call Home for problems with IBM Flex 
System V7000 canisters, including if they are dead and cannot boot, or if they have a bad 
DIMM.

Follow this procedure to configure the call home.

1. If the step to configure Support Notifications (Step 5 of 7) was complete already during 

initial setup, as shown in Figure 13-37 on page 563 and Figure 13-38 on page 563, 

Note: Enable the Call Home event notification mechanism is highly recommended. 
However, you can disable the Call Home function at any time using the management GUI 
or the IBM Flex System V7000 command-line interface. 

If you set up Call Home to IBM, ensure that the contact details that you configure are 
correct and kept up to date as personnel change.
