Method 1: Using Data Protector Management Console (GUI)

Launch Data Protector Management Console:

Log in to the Cell Manager server where Data Protector is installed.


Launch the Data Protector Management Console (GUI).
Navigate to the SMTP Configuration:

In the Data Protector Management Console, go to "Clients" in the left pane.


Right-click on the Cell Manager and select "Properties".
Configure SMTP Server:

In the Cell Manager Properties dialog, go to the "Advanced" tab.


Under "SMTP", enter the SMTP server IP address or hostname in the "SMTP Server"
field.
Save Changes:

Click "OK" or "Apply" to save the SMTP server configuration.


Restart Data Protector Services (if required):

Sometimes, changes to the SMTP configuration require a restart of Data Protector


services.
Open a command prompt with administrative privileges.
Run the following commands:
arduino
Copy code
omnirc -action=stop
omnirc -action=start
Method 2: Using omnirc File (Manual Configuration)
Locate the omnirc File:

The omnirc file is typically located in the Data Protector installation directory:
On Unix/Linux: /opt/omni/config/omnirc
On Windows: C:\Program Files\OmniBack\config\omnirc
Edit the omnirc File:

Use a text editor with administrative privileges to open the omnirc file.
Configure SMTP Server:

Add or modify the following parameter in the omnirc file:


makefile
Copy code
SMTP_SERVER=SMTP_SERVER_IP
Replace SMTP_SERVER_IP with the IP address or hostname of your SMTP server.
Save and Close the File:

Save the changes to the omnirc file and close the text editor.
Restart Data Protector Services (if required):

Open a command prompt with administrative privileges.


Run the following commands:
arduino
Copy code
omnirc -action=stop
omnirc -action=start
Additional Notes:
Make sure the SMTP server you are configuring is accessible from the Cell Manager
server and does not have any firewall restrictions blocking the communication.
Test the SMTP configuration by sending a test email from Data Protector, such as a
test notification or report.
Always back up configuration files before making changes to revert in case of any
issues.
Ensure the SMTP server is correctly configured to accept emails from the Cell
Manager server's IP address or hostname.
