Feature Management tasks
The following table lists the Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature tasks available on the Feature
Management Dashboard. Some tasks listed in the Feature Management tasks table appear only after you have imported the
Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature.
NOTE:
Ensure that Microsoft SMASH Library (MPB) is installed before discovering a Dell Server using Server and Rack
Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature to be able to use all the tasks listed in the Feature Management tasks table.
In the Event log, ignore the errors pertaining to reimporting of existing management packs under the error logs. These
errors occur when Feature Management Dashboard reimports all the dependent management packs that are already
imported while importing a monitoring feature.
NOTE: Wait for a task to complete (view the task’s status in the dashboard) before launching another task while using the
Feature Management Dashboard.
