Introduction

It is important to configure iDRAC alerts and email settings to be notified whenever someting happens with the server's hardware that need immediate attention.

Solution

Login

Login to iDRAC. See for default credentials.

Network settings

In the server pane to the left, expand Overview > iDRAC Settings > Network

On the Network tab, make sure the DNS iDRAC Name and Static DNS Domain Name are configured properly. This is expecially important if the SMTP server only accepts email from specific "Mail From" addresses. It is not possible to configure this address yourself.  The "Mail Form" address will be "DNSiDRACName@StaticDNSDomainName".

Click Apply.

Alert settings

In the server pane to the left, expand Overview > Server > Alerts
