1 Introduction to Dell Command | Monitor 10.3 The Dell Command | Monitor software application enables IT administrators to easily manage fleet inventory, monitor system health, modify BIOS settings, and remotely collect information for deployed Dell client systems. Active system health state monitoring can help reduce the total cost of system ownership and is part of a holistic approach to managing all networked devices.
Dell Command | Monitor manages client systems using the management protocols Common Information Model (CIM) standard and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This helps to reduce the total cost of system ownership, improves security, and provides a holistic approach to manage all the devices within a network device. Using CIM you can access Dell Command | Monitor through Web Services for Management Standards (WSMAN).
2 Windows SMM Security Mitigations Table (WSMT) Compliance The Windows (SMM) Security Mitigations Table contains information about the ACPI table that was created for the Windows operating system, which supports Windows virtualization-based security (VBS) features. Dell Command | Monitor is WSMT compatible. This is used for configuring the platform features on Dell Client Systems with WSMT enabled BIOS.
3 Standards and protocols for Dell Command | Monitor 10.3 Dell Command | Monitor is based on CIM standards. The CIM specification details mapping techniques for improved compatibility with management protocols. Management protocols such as WMI, SNMP, and WSMAN are used for remote monitoring. NOTE: Dell Command | Monitor for Windows uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to describe several variables of the system.
4 Use case scenarios using Dell Command | Monitor 10.3 This section describes various use case scenarios of Dell Command | Monitor.
For more information on Dell Command | Monitor, see Dell Command | Monitor Reference Guide at dell.com/ dellclientcommandsuitemanuals. For more information on Dell Command | Monitor, see Dell Command | Monitor Reference Guide. Standardized configurations can provide significant cost savings for companies of all sizes.

Select support category - Warranty and Contracts Disable warranty feature and subsequent refresh calls. Pull warranty information on-demand. NOTE: Warranty information is automatically updated every 15 days.
• • • • Find the individual log entries. Get all the instances of DCIM_LogEntry that are associated with the given instance of DCIM_RecordLog through the DCIM_LogManagesRecord association. Sort the instances based on the RecordID. Check whether record logs are enabled or not by enumerating the instance of the class DCIM_RecordLog whose property Enabledstate is set to 2 (represents enabled) and EnabledState is set to 3 (represents disabled). Sort the log records based on the time stamp of the log entry.
5 Using Dell Command | Monitor 10.3 You can view the information that is provided by Dell Command | Monitor by accessing: root\dcim\sysman (standard) Dell Command | Monitor provides the information through classes in these namespaces. For more information about the classes, see Dell Command | Monitor Reference Guide at dell.com/dellclientcommandsuitemanuals.

The history of the generated alerts and logs for the Dell Command | Monitor application can be viewed in the dcm_application.log file available at /opt/ dell/dcm/var/log. Configuration file You can update the configuration file log.
• To list the warranty entitlements in chronological order of WarrantyEndDate, run the following command: Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/dcim/sysman -ClassName DCIM_AssetWarrantyInformation | Sort-Object -Property WarrantyEndDate | Select Name, WarrantyEndDate, WarrantyStartDate • To disable the warranty feature and subsequent refresh calls, run the following command: Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/DCIM/SYSMAN -ClassName DCIM_AssetWarrantyInformation| Where-Object{$_.
For setting up the custom threshold values, run the following commands: For example: • Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\dcim\sysman DCIM_SmartAttributeInfo -Filter "AttributeID like ''" | InvokeCimMethod -MethodName "SetCustomThreshold" -Arguments @{CustomThresholdValue=""} DCIM_ThermalInformation DCIM_ThermalInformation manages thermal configuration settings such as Thermal Mode, AAC Mode, and Fan Failure Mode.
Setting BIOS attributes in the system running Linux You can set BIOS attributes using any of the following methods: • • • Using OMICLI Using WinRM Using WSMan NOTE: Ensure that the OMI server is started and running. Setting BIOS attributes using OMICLI You can set BIOS attributes using the SetBIOSAttributes method. The procedure is explained below using a task of enabling the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) as an example.
NOTE: The selector set values (SystemName=winrm i SetBIOSAttributes wsman/DCIM_BIOSService?SystemName=dt: +SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem+Name=DCIM:BiosService +CreationClassName=DCIM_BIOSService+) are used for set operation in this example. 2. Set the BIOS password on the system if not set already using the following command: winrm i SetBIOSAttributes http://schemas.dmtf.
5. Activate the TPM using the following command: wsman invoke –a “SetBIOSAttributes” http://schemas.dmtf.
d) Invoke the method by running the following command: $ bcsUefi.changebootorder($newboUefi, $AuthorizationToken). $AuthorizationToken variable is used to pass the BIOS password. Shutting down and restarting the Windows system remotely You can shut down or restart the Windows system remotely using the RequestStateChange method. 1. Shut down the Windows system remotely using the following command: (gwmi -ComputerName "SYSNAME" -Namespace root\dcim\sysman DCIM_ComputerSystem | WhereObject {$_.
