Dear Gurus,

 

I need a help to configure email notification about backup status in our environment. i gothrough all the documents and discussions already available on this, but everything was clearly available for master server in windows environment only. But we installed Master server in RHEL 6.0 and media server in suse linux 11 sp2. so please guide me to configure the email notification in Linux environment master server.

Master server - RHEL 6.0

Media server - SUSE linux 11 sp2

Netbackup version - 7.6

 

Thanks & Regards,

Balaji.

Test sendmail as root user from cmd using mailx.

Does that work?

If yes, go to NBU and add email address in Host Properties.

If no, then use Linux documentation or web site to get mailx configured.
As per the similar post that I mentioned above - we cannot help with OS config.

Similar question over here: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/problem-having-blat-unix-clients 

On a Linux server, simply ensure that sendmail is working at OS level.

Next, add email address in Host Properties -> Master -> Global attributes.

See other settings in this TN:

I am not aware of where and how this default notification can be be changed.

If you need additional info, best to install and config OpsCenter.
