Configuring email server
Mail server can be configured during NetBackup installation by including the name of the in the field of the environment.Spec in helm/values.yaml file.
The data must have entries in a
key: valueform to configure the mail server, as shown below for smtp field:emailServerConfigmap apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: configmail namespace: <netbackup-namespace> data: smtp: "xyz.abc.domain.com" smtp-use-starttls: ""If there is a specific parameter that needs to be set only (not value), a key can only be specified with the field.
Perform the following to modify the mail server settings:
Exec into the primary container using the following command:
kubectl exec -it -n <namespace> <primaryServer-pod-name> -- bash
Update the persistent file at
/mnt/nbdata/usr/openv/etc/mail.rcto set the fields as required.
If the field in the environment.Spec, is left empty (""), then the mail server would not be configured automatically as a part of NetBackup installation. In such case, the user will have to configure it manually post installation by performing the following steps:
Exec into the primary container using the following command:
kubectl exec -it -n <namespace> <primaryServer-pod-name> -- bash
Execute the following commands in the primary container:
mv /etc/mail.rc /mnt/nbdata/usr/openv/etc/mail.rc
ln -nsf /mnt/nbdata/usr/openv/etc/mail.rc /etc/mail.rc
Update values for required fields at
/mnt/nbdata/usr/openv/etc/mail.rc. An example of file is shown below:mail.rc # mail server configuration set mail set mailserver=xyz.abc.domain.com:25 set smtp-use-starttls
