Setting up contacts for event notification

Edit online

The KSYS tracks various events that occur in the environment, analyzes the situation, and notifies you about any issues or potential disaster through the registered contacts. You must provide the contact details to the KSYS so that you can receive notifications about any situation that might need your action.

You can add the following contact details for a specific user:
  • Email address
  • Phone number with phone carrier email address
You can add multiple email addresses for a specific user. However, you cannot add multiple email addresses simultaneously. You must run the command multiple times to add multiple email addresses.

You must specify the phone number along with the phone carrier email address to receive a short message service (SMS) notification. To find your phone carrier email address, contact your phone service provider.

Note: The logical partition, in which the KSYS software is installed, must have a public IP address to send the event notifications successfully.

To register contact details for notification from the KSYS, run the following commands in the KSYS LPAR:

  • To add an email notification for a specific user, enter the following command:
    ksysmgr add notify user=username contact=email_address
    For example,
    ksysmgr add notify user=John contact=john.doe@testmail.com
  • To add an SMS notification for a specific user, enter the following command:
    ksysmgr add notify user=username contact=10_digit_phone_number@phone_carrier_email_address
    For example,
    ksysmgr add notify user=John contact=1234567890@tmomail.net
