Configuring Cisco Call Home
The Call Home feature enables configuration of e-mail alert notifications for UCS errors and faults. The e-mail notifications can be configured for Cisco TAC (predefined) or any other recipient. This feature can be used to send a page message, an e-mail, or to generate a case with Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
Cisco UCSM executes the appropriate CLI show command and the command output is attached to the message for Call Home messages.
Call Home messages are delivered in the following three formats:
Short text format: Provides a short description, one or two lines of the fault that is suitable for pagers
Full text format: Provides the complete message with detailed information
XML format: The XML format enables communication with Cisco TAC
In the following example, we will configure Cisco Smart Call Home for UCS Call Home which will send the alert e-mails directly to Cisco TAC and to a network engineer.
Log in to UCS Manager.
Click on the Admin tab in the Navigation...
