The SMcli -autoSupportConfig command sets up the delivery method for sending AutoSupport messages.
Supported Arrays
This command applies to all E2700 and E5600 storage arrays in the management domain at once. It does not apply to E2800 or E5700 storage arrays.
Context
|
This command is an SMcli command, not a script command. You must run this command from a command line. You cannot run this command from the script editor in the storage management software. |
You can create two major types of delivery methods for sending AutoSupport messages:
-
SMTP — Use this method when you want to use email as the delivery method for sending AutoSupport messages.
-
HTTP/HTTPS — Use this method when you want to send AutoSupport messages using the HTTP or HTTPS protocols. You need to use HTTPS if you want to use AutoSupport OnDemand or AutoSupport Remote Diagnostics.
