Hey guys,
just integrates two HP ProLiant 380 G6 with ESXi 6.0 installed on them. Also there is a management server with vSphere vCenter Server and HP SIM 7.5 installed on it.
I did a discovery and the HP SIM found the two ESXi hosts, added them to the inventory and subscribed both of them to the WBEM events.
The main goal of using HP SIM is to receive e-mail-alerts when something is wrong with the hardware of the server e.g. a physical drive failed / array runs in degraded mode etc.
First I setup the e-mail credentials and sent a test e-mail. All fine. Next I created a new automatic event handler and set the event type to the appropriate events (HP ProLiant Important) and setup alerting by e-mail. I tried with the sign-in/sign-out events and got some mail when I logged in/out. Fine.
Now when I pull out a physiscal hard drive off the server or remove one of the two power chords attached to the server I can see the events in HP SIM Web Interface but I get no e-mail-alerts.
Does someboy know why the HP SIM does not send the mails but shows up the events?
