Using S.M.A.R.T. Disk Monitor 11

Generally this is the case. Unless you use this function to select and modify email servers and accounts, the email

server may reject the message.

4. What happens if there are more than one email accounts set up for a particular SMTP server?

The software will use the first entry (lowest number) it finds that matches the SMTP server which was supplied via the

command-line when the program was launched.

5. Does the software do any validation of settings before attempting to send mail?

No. You may, however, test the E-Mail settings after you have set up the account by using the -T function to

generate a sample alert.

1.4.2 Testing Predictive Failure Alerts and Actions

In the event of a disk-related predictive failure, the program initiates the following actions in this order:

1. It sends a message in your host operating systems's standard event log. If you invoked the program with the -L

option, the message is appended to a flat text file instead.

2. If you invoked the program with the -M option, the software will send the event information to the appropriate

email address that was supplied with the -M command. Windows users will also need to pre-configure the SMTP

settings by using the -Mail command, and also supply the -N flag on the command-line which specifies the IP

name of the mail server you wish to use. UNIX//LINUX users need not worry about specifying the SMTP server

on the command-line. This is because the software invokes the standard mail or mailx program on your host O/S,

which uses the default SMTP server that was configured by your system administrator.

3. If the -LB option was added to the command-line, the final step is that the software launches the program or

script or batch (.BAT) file that was supplied with the -LB command. It passes that file information about the

physical device name, make/model information, and the event log data. Your application can either use or ignore

that information. It is important to note that smartmon-ux will SUSPEND itself until the program completes. For

testing purposes, you should use a simple program that returns quickly and makes it quite obvious that it worked.

You may concurrently test email, event logging, and auto launch programs by appending the -T command with any

combination of -M, -L, and -LB flags.

Testing E-MAIL Configuration (Windows Users Only)

If you are running a Windows-family operating system, you must first configure the SMTP E-Mail settings by using the

-Mail command. This function is an interactive one that will allow you to add/change/unconfigure email accounts

on your system.

Once you have configured the settings, send a test message by entering something like:

smartmon-ux -T [email protected] -N smtp.yourcompany.com

[email protected] is who you want to send the message to, and smtp.yourcompany.com is the IP

name of the mail server that your system administrator has set up to use.

If there is an error, an appropriate message will usually be returned which can assist with resolving the problem.

Here are some sample error messages. Note, if you add a physical device path to a disk drive, this will prevent your

host from scanning and reporting all physical devices on your system before testing mail.

C:\Program Files\SANTOOLS>smartmon-ux -T [email protected] -N invalidipname.mycompany.com

Fatal error from smartmon-ux recorded at 8/4/2005 19:15:23 PM

Program Halted.

You have supplied a SMTP server but have not configured the settings. Enter smartmon-ux -Mail to configure

it.

C:\Program Files\SANTOOLS>smartmon-ux -T [email protected] -N smtp.mycompany.com
