Display global remote alert settings	Displays the global remote alert settings for the CMM.	`alertcfg`	Primary CMM: mm[p] mm[P] mm[x] where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Set remote alert retry delay interval	Sets the remote alert retry delay interval.	`alertcfg -dr` delay`-rl` limit where delay is from 0.5 minutes to 4.0 minutes, inclusive, in 0.5 minute increments. If you enter a value less than 0.5 minute, the retry interval will be set to 0.5 minute. If you enter a value greater than 4.0 minutes, the retry interval will be set to 4.0 minutes. This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	Primary CMM: mm[p] mm[P] mm[x] where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Include / exclude service information with email alerts	Enables or disables inclusion of service information with email alerts.	`alertcfg -si` state where state is `enabled` or `disabled` . This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.

Set remote alert retry limit	Sets the maximum number of times the system will attempt to send a remote alert, if previous attempts were unsuccessful.	`alertcfg -rl` value where value is from 0 to 8, inclusive. If you enter a value of 0, no retries will be attempted. If you enter a value greater than 8, an error will be displayed.

Primary CMM: mm[p] mm[P] mm[x] where x is the primary CMM bay number.

Example: To view the remote alert configuration, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type

alertcfg -T mm[p]

To set the retry interval to 3.5 minutes, include service information in the alert, and set the remote alert retry limit to 7, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type

alertcfg -dr 3.5 -si enabled -rl 7 -T mm[p]

The following example shows the information that is returned from these commands:

system> alertcfg -T mm[p]
-dr 2.0
-si disabled
-rl 6
system> alertcfg -dr 3.5 -si enabled -rl 7 -T mm[p]
OK
system> alertcfg -T mm[p]
-dr 3.5
-si enabled
-rl 7
system>
