Netbackup Appliance 2.6.1.1 Mail Issues FIXED
The Mail Issues that everyone is having with netbackup appliance is fixed in 2.6.1.1, but 2.6.1.2 breaks the email fix. Has anyone else experience this Has stated in their release notes SMTP server settings for appliance notifications Starting with NetBackup Appliance 2.6.1.1, all email notifications that get generated by the appliance use the same SMTP settings. These emails include hardware monitoring notifications and NetBackup job notifications. The configuration settings are located under Settings > Notification > Alert Configuration in the NetBackup Appliance Web Console or Main_Menu > Settings > Alerts in the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu. These settings override any previous SMTP setup you may have previously used to send NetBackup job notifications. Note: If you had already configured the appliance SMTP settings before you upgraded to NetBackup Appliance 2.6.1.1, you may need to re-save the configuration in order for NetBackup to use it. In the NetBackup Appliance Web Console, go to Settings > Notification > Alert Configuration and click Save. Or in the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu, go to Main_Menu > Settings > Alerts and resubmit the SMTP and SenderID settings.
