1 Some use cases for the Remote Script Execution feature
Listed below are some of the use cases where the Remote Script Execution feature can be used:
USE CASE 1:
Remote Script Execution can be used to prevent over heating of servers. When temperature reaches a critical
state in a server, alert is generated. In such instances, the user can create an alert policy to trigger a remote
IPMI command to shut down the device.
USE CASE 2:
Remote scripts can be used to get the system event logs using RACADM. For instance, when power
redundancy is lost for iDRAC servers, the user is notified with the alerts. An alert policy could be created on
such alerts to trigger remote RACADM command to get SEL logs for that device.
USE CASE 3:
Customer gets an SNMP trap on an appliance in a private network, based on which he/she wants to set up a
policy to run a script on the remote server to send a mail to the group, with the device and alert details. For
