the EqualLogic Group Manager IP
and management IP.
If discovered using the controller
IPs, it results in multiple entries.
Support for discovery using the
controller/node IPs.
If discovered using the EqualLogic

Information
Displayed in the device inventory. Displayed in the device inventory. Displayed in the device inventory.
Alerts Alerts received from the controller
are not correlated to the device.
Alerts received from the controller/
node are correlated to the device.
NOTE: It is highly
recommended to include all
controller/node IP addresses
in the discovery range
conguration while
discovering a NAS cluster
with FluidFS version 3.0.
This enables OpenManage
Essentials to properly
associate the SNMP alerts
received from various
participating controllers/
nodes with the discovered
cluster.
Some alerts received from the
device may be displayed as
Unknown.
OEM Device Support
OEM devices (re-branded or de-branded servers and Compellent S8000 iDRAC), when discovered, are classied under OEM
Devices in the device tree. Most of the functionality available to servers, such as tasks, reports, and lters are also applicable to
OEM servers. However, system update may not be possible if it is not supported by the OEM device module. For more information
on the supported protocols and features, see information on servers/devices in Supported Devices Protocols and Features Matrix.
OEM servers are always classied under the OEM Devices group in the device tree. They are not displayed under the Servers or
RAC group. If both the server and RAC of the OEM device are discovered, they are correlated and displayed as one device under the
OEM Devices group. Other OEM devices except servers and RAC are classied under the dierent server groups such as Microsoft
Virtualization Servers, VMware ESX servers, and so on, based on the classication criteria they satisfy.
NOTE: OEM servers discovered using WMI protocol are classied under the Servers device group only when OMSA is
installed. OEM servers without OMSA are classied under the Unknown device group.
