Setting Up Reservation Manager › Post-Installation Configuration › Configure Email Notifications

Configure Email Notifications

The Reservation Manager can send email notifications for key events to end users and administrators. An example of a situation that causes email notifications to administrators is when a datastore has insufficient space for a new virtual machine.

Perform post-installation configuration to activate email support. If CA EEM is configured to use an external directory, CA EEM automatically obtains the email address of the user. If you are using CA EEM without external directory support, the CA EEM administrator must specify the email address of the user.

To configure email notifications

1. Log in to the Reservation Manager using the CA Server Automation administrator user credentials.

   The home page opens.

2. Click Administer your Reservation Manager.

   The Administration page opens.

3. Click Manage your configuration settings.

   The Configure Settings page opens.

4. Click the following links in the Notifications area. Each one opens a dialog in which you can change the value and click OK.

   Mail Notification Address

   Specifies the sender name that appears on emails. An example is <ssrm@somecompany.com>.

   Mail Server

   Specifies the name of the SMTP mail server that sends the emails. An example is mail.somecompany.com.

   Mail Server Port

   Specifies the port of the SMTP mail server that sends the emails. An example is 25.

   Mail Recipients

   Lists users and administrators who receive emails about important events. Enter their names separated by semicolons, for example, Brown, Jane <broja@companyA.com>;Smith, John <John.Smith@company.net>.

   The configuration change takes effect when the next reservation is made.
