Email Settings

These settings are used by NetBackup for OpenStack to send email reports of snapshots and restores to users.

Configuring the Email settings is a must-have to provide Email notification to OpenStack users.

The following information is required to configure the email settings:

  • SMTP server

  • SMTP username

  • SMTP password

  • SMTP port

  • SMTP time-out

  • Sender email address

A test email can be sent directly from the configuration page.

To work with email settings through CLI use the following commands:

To set an email setting for the first time or after deletion use:

nbosjm setting-create [--description <description>]
                           [--category <category>]
                           [--type <type>]
                           [--is-public {True,False}]
                           [--is-hidden {True,False}]
                           [--metadata <key=value>]
                           <name> <value>
