Modifying the support e-mail user

Use the Modify Support E-Mail User panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to change the support e-mail user. However, a support e-mail user is recommended and changing these settings could cause the e-mail service to function incorrectly. Only change these settings if the new values are correct and another support center is present. If this is the last user that is specified to receive event notifications, then deleting this user disables event notifications. Event notification can be restarted by adding another user and restarting the e-mail service.

Attributes

The following attributes are displayed:

User Name
Displays the name of the e-mail user.
E-Mail Address
Displays the e-mail address of the user.
Send Error Notification
Displays whether events with the notification type of error are sent to the support user at the specified e-mail address. When an event notification with the type error is received by the specified user, the problem must be fixed immediately. This notification indicates a serious problem with the SAN Volume Controller cluster. For example, the event that is being reported could indicate a loss of redundancy in the system, and it is possible that another failure could result in loss of access to data. The most typical reason this type of notification is sent is because of a hardware failure, but some configuration errors or fabric errors also are included in this notification type.
On
Indicates that the specified user receives events with the notification type of error.
Off
Indicates that the specified user does not receive events with the notification type of error.

Fields

The following fields can be updated:

User Name
Enter the new name of the support user. To change the user name, a support user and a associated e-mail address must exist. Only change the user name and e-mail address settings after verifying that the new values and that the other support center exists.
E-mail Address
Enter the new e-mail address of the support user.
