Change Failover Notification

Though failover email notifications are set during initial installation, this procedure gives instructions for resetting these notifications after installation has already been completed.

Failover notification requires email to be configured on both SMWs. For information about configuring email, see http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html.

The SMW HA software includes a Notification resource that automatically sends email when a failover occurs. Failover notification is usually configured during initial installation, but can be changed after the HA system is installed and running.

  1. Determine the email address for failover notification. Only one email address is allowed. To send notifications to multiple addresses, create a group email alias that includes all necessary email addresses.
  2. Execute the following crm resource command as root on either SMW. Substitute the actual address for address@thedomain.com.
    smw1# crm resource param Notification set email address@thedomain.com 
  3. Verify the setting.
    smw1# crm resource param Notification show email
    address@thedomain.com
