Answer

When the SMTP server IP address is changed, the following configuration changes are necessary to ensure that email notifications and AutoSupport messages continue to function correctly:

Update the SMTP Server Configuration:

Verify the current SMTP server configuration using the event config show command:

Example:

Cluster::> event config show

                           Mail From:  ontap913@mail.com

                         Mail Server:  10.122.88.108

                           Proxy URL:  -

                          Proxy User:  -

 Publish/Subscribe Messaging Enabled:  true

Note:

If the Mail Server is set to localhost, no changes are necessary.

Update the SMTP server IP address using the event config modify command:

Cluster::> event config modify -mail-from <Mail Address> -mail-server <new-SMTP-IP>

Update AutoSupport Configuration:

Verify the current AutoSupport configuration using the autosupport show command:

Example:

ontap913::> autosupport show -node ontap913-01 -fields mail-hosts

node        mail-hosts

----------- ----------

ontap913-01 10.122.88.108

Note:

If the mail-hosts is set to mailhost, no changes are necessary.

Update the SMTP server IP address using the autosupport modify command:

Cluster::> autosupport modify -node * -mail-hosts <new-SMTP-IP>
