iDrac6 Email Alert Problem
I'm trying to setup the email alerts on the iDrac6 Express on an R610, but when i run the test it just says "Sending Failed". Platform Event Filter Alerts are enabled.
The network setup is:
- 192.168.1.22/255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.1.1
- DNS: 192.168.1.1
- SMTP: 192.168.1.1
Exim is listening 192.168.1.1 and is set to allow mail on 192.168/16. There's nothing in the exim logs about connections from the drac. Is there a way to get the drac to give more information about why it's sending failed?
This is one of the many times when I'd sniff traffic. In this case I'd get my sniffer situated to capture the iDRAC's connection to the LAN and see if it's even sending anything to the LAN at all. While you could capture traffic on the SMTP server I'd be more apt to watch what the iDRAC card is saying first.
you have to put in the DNS name of your domain to get this to work.
Under Idrac Settings Network / Security network. DNS name. Put in your DNS domain name. Idrac will be able to send out the emails.
