Feature Management tasks
The following table lists the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature tasks available on the Dell
EMC Feature Management Dashboard. Some tasks listed in the Feature Management tasks table appear only after you have
imported the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature.
NOTE:
Ensure that Microsoft SMASH Library (MPB) is installed before discovering a Dell EMC 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 Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard reimports all the dependent management packs that are
