Novell Cluster Services can automatically send out e-mail messages for certain cluster events like cluster and resource state changes or nodes joining or leaving the cluster.
In order for cluster e-mail notification to work, you must first configure e-mail notification for server health status using NetWare Remote Manager. For instructions on how to do this, go to Configuring E-Mail Notification for Server Health Status
in the NetWare Remote Manager Administration Guide.
You can enable or disable e-mail notification for the cluster and specify up to eight administrator e-mail addresses for cluster notification.
IMPORTANT:If you add or delete an administrator e-mail address or change the type of cluster events you want administrators to receive messages for (verbose to XML, etc.), you must reload cma.nlm (the Cluster Management Agent) and perform a cluster join on each node for the changes to take effect. Reloading the cma.nlm on a node causes a cluster migration of all loaded resources on the node to other nodes, and then performs a cluster leave for the node. Loading cma.nlm does not automatically cause the node to rejoin the cluster, so you must issue the cluster join command afterwards. Repeat this for each node in the cluster.
Another way to do this is to unload cma.nlm (the Cluster Management Agent) and run ldncs on each node in the cluster. The ldncs command automatically loads cma.nlm and runs the cluster join command for the node. Repeat this process for each node in the cluster.
In Roles and Tasks, select , then click the link.

You can click the buttons next to the field to add, delete, or edit e-mail addresses. Repeat this process for each e-mail address you want on the notification list.
If you enable e-mail notification, specify the type of cluster events you want administrators to receive messages for.
To only receive notification of critical events like a node failure or a resource going comatose, click the radio button.
To receive notification of all cluster state changes including critical events, resource state changes, and nodes joining and leaving the cluster, click the radio button.
To receive notification of all cluster state changes in XML format, choose the option. XML format messages can be interpreted and formatted with a parser that lets you customize the message information for your specific needs.
