Description
This command creates an email server object that represents the SMTP server. The FlashSystem 7300 uses the email server to send event notification and inventory emails to email users. It can transmit any combination of error, warning, and informational notification types.
The FlashSystem 7300 supports up to six email servers to provide redundant access to the external email network. The email servers are used in turn until the email is successfully sent from the FlashSystem 7300 . The attempt is successful when the FlashSystem 7300 gets a positive acknowledgment from an email server that the email has been received by the server.
