Chassis Monitoring requirements
● For slot discovery and correlation to work; ensure that you have Dell Device Helper utility installed.
● To monitor Chassis controller, IO Module, IO Module Group, Power Supply, and Power Supply Group components; enable
RACADM utility. RACADM utility is now required only to monitor the health of Chassis controller, IO Module, IO Module
Group, Power Supply, and Power Supply Group components.
● To monitor the health of Chassis devices, associate the community string Run As account with the SNMP Monitoring
Account with the target as Dell Modular Chassis class or respective Chassis object (if you have different Run As accounts
for different Chassis devices).
●
To discover Chassis Slots and Chassis Slot Summary for CMC; create Run As Accounts and associate it to the profiles
— Dell CMC Login Account Run As Profiles. Also, enable the CMC Slot Discovery from the OpsMgr console. For
more information, see Configuring Chassis Management Controller feature for Correlating Server Modules with Chassis Slot

for correlating Server Modules with the Chassis Slot
summary
To configure CMC feature for correlating server modules, create Run As Accounts and associate it to Run As Profiles to
populate chassis slot summary.
1. Create a Run As Account of type Simple Authentication that has privileges to connect to the CMC module on the chassis.
Also, use the Basic or Digest Run As Account types for configuring the user credentials.
2. Select the More Secure or Less Secure option in the Run As Account configuration, so that you can selectively distribute
the configuration to specific management servers.
For information about creating a Run As Account of type Simple Authentication, see the “Creating A Simple Authentication
Run As Account” section of Dell EMC Server Management Pack Suite Version 7.0 for Microsoft System Center Operations
Manager User's Guide at Dell.com/OMConnectionsEnterpriseSystemsManagement.
NOTE: Add the Server Management Action account to the OpsMgr administrator group.
3. Associate the created Run As Accounts with the Dell CMC Login Account profile and select the appropriate class, group,
or object on which you can configure the profile.
● To enable slot summary discovery for CMC, override the enable property to True in Dell CMC Slot Discovery. It is
disabled by default.
NOTE:
After the slot discovery, if you remove the link between Run As Account with Run As Profile, or disable the
slot-discovery workflow, the discovered slots remain with old data.
