Configuration of Mail Notification in SEP Sesam
This short Howto will describe how to configure Mail Notification with SEP Sesam.
E-Mail Interfaces
The Notification is done via several "Interface" Scripts. These scripts are by default included in a SEP Sesam Server installation, but will not be configured.
The following Interfaces exist:
sm_notify : sends E-Mail about Backups/Restores and status E-Mails upon the Newday event sm_alarm : sends E-Mail if there are problems with tapes (no tape, wrong tape inserted ..) sm_disaster : sends disaster information if SESAM_BACKUP is executed.
The E-Mails will be sent to the user accounts defined in the SEP sesam GUI (Configuration: E-Mail Settings)
Configuration of the Interfaces
The Interface files are installed in the so called "templates" directory of the SEP sesam Server's installation path. They have to be copied to the right directory.
Windows
The interfaces are (based on your installation Path) placed in for example:
C:\SEPSesam\skel\templates\
The Files are named like:
sm_alarm.cmd sm_notify.cmd sm_disaster.cmd
Copy those files to:
C:\SEPSesam\bin\sesam
Linux
Like on Windows the templates are shipped within the sesam installation path's template directory:
/opt/sesam/skel/templates
The scripts are named:
sm_notify sm_alarm sm_disaster
Copy those scripts to:
/opt/sesam/bin/sesam/
Configure E-Mail recipients
The Recipients are configured through the SEP sesam GUI.
Chose the Menu:
Configuration -> E-Mail Settings
and create a user account like shown in this screenshot, please replace the values from the example with your desired E-Mail accounts.
Please Note: |
The first line "Account" should always include "sesam"! |
