Autosupport fields

The following list describes the fields in this window:

Autosupport Enabled
The autosupport daemon triggers automatic email messages to members of Network Appliance Technical Support, alerting them to potential filer problems. If necessary, Network Appliance will contact you at the email address that you specify to help you resolve a potential system problem.
Mailhosts
The filer does not function as a mail host. The filer relies on another host at your site that listens on the SMTP port (25) to send mail. Therefore, autosupport requires at least one host reachable by the filer that runs an SMTP server or a mail forwarder such as the sendmail program. By default, the administration host defined during system setup is used as a mail host. You can specify additional mail hosts.
To
Recipients of autosupport email, specified as email addresses of recipients of messages sent by the autosupport daemon.
Note to
Recipients of short email messages generated by the autosupport daemon, specified as email addresses of the recipients. The short email messages are for urgent events such as disk failures or filer reboots. They are useful if the person who should be notified of urgent events reads email on a small screen such as that on an alphanumeric pager.
From
Sender of autosupport email. It should be the email address of the person whom Network Appliance contacts after receiving an automatic email message.
