b. Click Advanced Options, select the Skip CA Check and Skip CN Check options, and then click OK.
c. Click Scan for Devices to search for Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers on your network.
The IP addresses are listed under Available Devices.
d. Click Add to add the list of IP addresses you want to monitor and click OK.
9. Under Specify the devices you want to monitor, click Create.
10. Click Close.
The scanned PowerEdge servers are initially listed under Monitoring > WS-Management and SMASH Monitoring >
WS-Management Device State. After the automatically triggered SMASH discovery is completed by the Operations
Manager, the PowerEdge servers are listed under Monitoring > WS-Management and SMASH Monitoring > SMASH
Device State.
11. Enable the Dell EMC Server and Rack Monitoring (Licensed) feature through the Dell EMC Feature Management
Dashboard.
Object discoveries using WS-Man
● Discovery Object—Dell EMC PowerEdge Server Discovery
● Description—Classifies the Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers and populates the key attributes and components.
● Discovery Object—Dell Device Helper Discovery
● Description—Discovers the Dell Device Helper as an object.
● Discovery Object—Dell Host NIC Correlation Discovery
● Description—Correlates the Host NIC interfaces with Physical interfaces.
NOTE: Teamed network interfaces display only one of the NICs in the team.
Install SNMP services to monitor PowerEdge servers
NOTE:
To receive SNMP alerts from devices that are discovered through the iDRAC access using Host operating system
feature, you must install SNMP services on the Managed Node and also set the Management Server IP address as the trap
destination in the SNMP Services.
To install SNMP services on the Managed Node, perform the following actions:
1. Click Server Manager > Roles and Features > Features.
2. Install SNMP Services.
3. From the list of available services, right-click SNMP Services and select Properties.
4. In the SNMP Services Properties (Local Computer) window, click the Traps tab.
5. Set a Community string in the Community name box, and then enter the Management Server IP address in the Trap
Destinations box.
6. Click OK.
The SNMP traps for the node that is discovered through iSM using the iDRAC access using Host operating system
(Experimental) method are received. The Severity levels of discovered devices on page 84 indicates the health of the
PowerEdge Servers on the network. It includes monitoring health of modular, monolithic systems, and supported Dell Precision
Racks and their components at regular intervals.
Because the system components monitored by the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature, which
is license-free, and the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature are not the same, it is
possible that the overall server health that is shown through license-free (OMSA) and licensed (iDRAC WS-Man, iDRAC access
using Host operating system, or iSM–WMI) methods could be different. When you observe such issues, analyze the specific
component status to resolve specific issues in the system component to bring the overall health of the server to the OK state.
