You can view the details of the iDRAC Group Manager; iDRAC Group Manager Status, and iDRAC Group Name under the iDRAC
object in the Detail View pane of the Diagram View. For more information about this feature, see Integrated Dell Remote
Access Controller 9 Version 3.00.00.00 User's Guide.
This feature is available for servers discovered through both, iDRAC and iSM methods of Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation
Monitoring (Licensed) feature.
Event Auto Resolution
This section describes the automatic resolution or acknowledgement of the Dell device events using the Event Auto Resolution
feature.
Dell EMC Server Management Pack Suite receives, and processes the events from the Dell devices. These events can be
broadly classified as problem, information, and resolution events. All these events remain on the console until they are manually
closed. Even after the problem gets resolved at the node, the problem event, and the corresponding resolution event remains in
the console until they are manually acknowledged. Event Auto Resolution feature automatically resolves or acknowledges such
Dell device events.
The auto resolution of events can be classified as:
● Problem to problem— One problem event resolves another problem event. For example, a temperature sensor sends a
warning event when it crosses the warning threshold. If there is no action, after certain time, the same sensor sends critical
event when it crosses the critical event. In this case, there is no importance of the warning event, as it does not exist.
Hence, the warning event is acknowledged, and only critical event is shown on the console.
● Problem to resolution— One resolution or a normal event resolves a problem event. For example, a temperature sensor
sends a warning event when it crosses the warning threshold. When the administrator takes appropriate action; the same
sensor sends the resolution event or normal event after certain amount of time. In this case, there is no importance of the
warning event, as it does not exist. Hence, the warning event is acknowledged, and only normal event is shown on the
console.
This feature is available only for servers discovered through iDRAC–WS-MAN. By default, the Event Auto Resolution is set to
Disabled. Enable this feature using the Enable Event Auto Resolution task. The tasks; Enable Event Auto Resolution, and
Disable Event Resolution are available under Dell EMC > Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard > Dell EMC Server
and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) > Dell EMC Monitoring Feature Tasks.
Capacity planning
You can monitor if the server’s utilization has exceeded the configured capacity threshold value using the unit monitor; Dell
Server Capacity Check. The unit monitor Dell Server Capacity Check monitors the average system or CUPS
usage for the last one day of each server against the configured capacity threshold value. By default, this unit monitor is set
to Disabled. To enable the Dell Server Capacity Check unit monitor, see the Enabling Dell Server Capacity Check unit
monitor.
The minimum threshold value is 1, and the maximum threshold value is 99. The default threshold value is 60. You can configure
the threshold values within the specified range i.e 1–99. In case, you provide a threshold value other than the specified ranges,
that threshold is reset to its default value.
A warning event per server is generated when the average system or CUPS usage for the last one day exceeds the configured
threshold value. The warning event is auto resolved when the average system or CUPS usage for the last one day returns within
the configured threshold value.
You can view the details of the warning alert in the Alert Details pane under Monitoring > Dell EMC > Dell EMC Alerts
Views > Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Alerts Views.
You can view the health state obtained from the unit monitor; Dell Server Capacity Check under Monitoring > Dell >
Dell EMC State Views > Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Alerts (Licensed) > Dell Server Capacity Threshold
Check. You can also view the component Dell Server Capacity Threshold Check under the Dell Server object in Diagram
Views.
NOTE: By default, the Dell Server Capacity Threshold Check column under State Views is disabled.
Capacity Planning feature also provides a performance graph to show the trend for the Average SYS Usage/Day.
To view the performance graph for the capacity planning feature:
