The set emailAlert command configures the email to send an email to a specified technical support or organization. The email alert contains a summary of the event, detailed information about the affected storage, and customer contact information.

Supported Arrays

This command applies to the E2800, E5700, EF600, and EF300 storage arrays. However, you can use the command as an SMcli command, not a script command, for E2700 or E5600 arrays. In this case, the command applies to all of the arrays in the management domain.
