Understanding Augmented Reality Monitoring in OpenManage Mobile | 389
Ensure that Quick Sync 2 is activated on the chassis before starting the Augmented Reality Monitoring
feature. This gives Augmented Reality Monitoring a brief time to load data in the background while the rest of
the manual steps are finished. To launch Augmented Reality Monitoring:
1. Launch the OpenManage Mobile application on the mobile device.
2. Open the navigation menu and select Augmented Reality.
The first step in Augmented Reality Monitoring is to point the camera at the chassis to detect it. It is
recommended to stand about three feet away from the chassis and to hold the camera mostly perpendicular
to the chassis. For more information, see Understanding augmented reality in Section 2.1. Try moving the
camera to capture different angles of the chassis if it does not detect within a few seconds.
If the Quick Sync 2 of the chassis has already been activated and the chassis was initially configured by
OpenManage Mobile, then at this stage the health data of the chassis should be displayed on the camera
feed. If either of these steps had not been completed yet, instructions in Augmented Reality Monitoring will
help connect the device to the chassis.
The health data overlays on top of the chassis front face. The following color symbols denote the health
status:
• Healthy – Green
• Warning – Yellow
• Critical – Red
In OpenManage Mobile 3.3, the components in the back side of the chassis can also be seen by tapping the
Rear-View icon in the upper right corner. Tap any component to view the detailed report of that component.
The fault and error messages of the component are displayed in the center. Alternatively, select Logs to view
additional log information in the Hardware Logs page of OpenManage Mobile.
In OpenManage Mobile 4.0, tapping any component on the front-end of the chassis displays detailed
component information and the localized fault logs in a new pop-up that opens right next to the chassis on
your screen. Only five such pop-ups in addition to the chassis can be displayed to prevent them from moving
away from the chassis.
Note: When Augmented Reality Monitoring navigates to the regular monitoring pages in OpenManage
Mobile, the augmented reality detection of the chassis is lost and the chassis must be identified again. All
other data and connection information is saved.
