Configure the Email feature for your vmPRO appliance
1. Display the ConfigureEmail dialog box or the EmailConfiguration page.
2. In the 'From'Address field, enter the email address from which to send the vmPRO appliance's
reports and alerts.
Note:We recommend entering an administrator's address in the 'From'Address field, since the
address entered in this field is also used as the recipient address when a password reset is
needed.
3. In the Host or SMTPServer field, enter the host for the vmPRO appliance's SMTP server.
4. In the Port field, enter the port for the vmPRO appliance's SMTP server.
5. Select the UseTLS check box to use transport layer security (TLS) when sending emails over the
Internet, as needed.
6. Select the UseSMTPAUTH check box to use SMTP authentication in accessing the email server, as
needed.
If you select this option, do the following:
a. In the Username field, enter the login name for accessing the SMTP server.
b. In the Password field, enter the password for accessing the SMTP server.
7. Select the LogDebugMessages check box to log debugged emails in the Support Logs. See vmPRO
GUI Menus.
Note:This field only displays on the ConfigureEmail dialog box.
8. Click SendTestEmailNow to send a test email from the email address entered in the 'From'
Address field.
9. Click OK to save changes and exit the ConfigureEmail dialog box, or save changes and exit the
wizard.
Caution:Any time you make configuration updates from the QuantumvmPROConfiguration
Wizard, you must exit the wizard using the Summary tab to save your updates. See Initially
Configuring a vmPRO Appliance.
Configuring Reports, Alerts, and Autosupport for a
vmPRO Appliance
Configure your vmPRO appliance to send daily reports and alerts to recipients who need to know about the
status of the appliance. In addition, enable Autosupport to facilitate pro-active support from the Quantum
support team.
Note:Make sure your firewall allows access to support.Quantum.com on port 443.
