Onboarding devices
Onboarding enables servers to be managed, rather than just be monitored.
If administrator-level credentials are provided during discovery, the servers are onboarded (the device status is displayed as "managed" in
the All Devices view). If lower privileged credentials are provided during discovery, the servers are not onboarded (the status is displayed
as "monitored" in the All Devices view). If the console is also set as a trap receiver on the servers then their Onboarding status is indicated
as "managed with alerts".
If you want to onboard devices with a different user account apart from the account specified for discovery, or re-attempt onboarding
because of a failure in onboarding during discovery, do the following:
NOTE:
All devices that have been onboarded through this wizard remain onboarded through this user account and is not
substituted by the discovery user account during future discoveries against these devices.
NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release, you must have necessary user privileges. See
Role-based OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release user privileges.
1. From the OpenManage Enterprise menu, under Devices, click All Devices.
A Donut chart indicates status of all devices in the working pane. See the Donut chart. The table lists the properties of devices
selected along with their following onboarding status:
• Error: Device cannot be onboarded. Try by logging in by using the recommended privileges. See Role-based OpenManage
Enterprise–Tech Release user privileges.
• Managed: Device successfully onboarded, and can be managed by the OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release console.
• Monitored: Device does not have management option (such as the one discovered by using SNMP).
• Managed with alerts: Device is sucessfully onboarded, and the OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release console is registered with
the device as an alert receiver.
2. In the working pane, select a check box corresponding to the device(s), click More Actions > OnBoarding.
Ensure that you select only the device types that are supported for onboarding. You can search for suitable devices in the table by
clicking Advanced Filters, and then select or type onboarding status data in the filter box.
NOTE:
All devices that are discovered are not supported for onboarding and only iDRAC is supported. Therefore,
ensure that you select onboarding option for the supported device type.
3. In the OnBoarding dialog box, type the WS-Man credentials—user name and password.
4. Expand Advanced Settings:
a. In the Retries box, type the number of repeated attempts that must be made to discover a server.
b. In the Timeout box, type the time after which a job must stop running.
c. In the Port box, type the port number that the job must use to discover.
d. Optional field. Select Enable Common Name (CN) check.
e. Optional field. Select Enable Certificate Authority (CA) check and browse to the certificate file.
5. Click Finish.
NOTE:
The Enable trap reception from discovered check box is effective only for servers discovered by using their
iDRAC interface. Selection is ineffective for other servers—such as those devices discovered by using OS discovery.
