Understanding Augmented Reality Monitoring in OpenManage Mobile | 389
1 Introduction
Augmented Reality Monitoring is a new feature in OpenManage Mobile 3.2 that creates an augmented reality
environment in the data center, highlighting the key components in the MX7000 chassis. By standing in front
of a chassis and simply pointing the camera at it, the data center administrator can view the most important
details of the chassis and get quick response information for any faults in the system. By using OpenManage
Mobile with Augmented Reality Monitoring, a data center administrator can:
• Identify the front of the MX7000 chassis.
• Guide the administrator through setting up the Quick Sync 2 connection.
• Show the health status of the sleds, IO modules, fans, power supplies, and management modules in
the front and back of the chassis.
• Highlight critical fault logs in case of a problem with a component.
If the administrator needs to take more action than what can be accomplished with Augmented Reality
Monitoring, the administrator can follow links that navigate to the hardware logs, power options, and report
pages of OpenManage Mobile.
