Capacity planning of PowerEdge servers discovered through iDRAC
and iSM
You can monitor if the server’s utilization has exceeded the configured capacity threshold value using the Dell Server Capacity
Check unit monitor. 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 disabled. To enable the Dell
Server Capacity Check unit monitor, see Enable performance and power monitoring unit monitors on page 42.
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. That is, 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.
Detect and restore the status of a failed CMC or OpenManage
Enterprise-Modular
Using the “iDRAC detection of a failed Dell EMC Chassis Management Controller/OpenManage Enterprise Modular (CMC/
OME- M)” feature, iDRAC of a Rack Style Management (RSM) enabled modular server detects a failed or an unavailable CMC.
By using this feature, you can take immediate remedial action to bring the failed Dell EMC CMC/OME-M to a normal state.
The Dell Chassis Controller Sensor indicates the presence or failure of a Dell EMC CMC/OME-M. You can view the health state
that is obtained from the unit monitor by clicking Dell EMC Diagram Views > Dell Chassis Controller Sensor under Sensors.
NOTE:
● The Dell Chassis Controller Sensor is available in both the Scalable and Detailed Management Pack editions.
● iDRAC detection of failed Dell EMC CMC/OME-M is supported for YX3X and iDRAC9-based PowerEdge FX2 Chassis.
Port connection information of PowerEdge servers discovered
through iDRAC and iSM
NOTE: This feature is supported for iDRAC9-based PowerEdge servers only.
Server port connection information feature provides information about the physical mapping of switch ports to server ports,
and iDRAC dedicated port connections. This feature enables you to reduce cabling error debugging by identifying switch ports
that are connected to a server’s network ports, and iDRAC dedicated port. You can view the information about the Server port
connection under iDRAC NIC and NIC objects in the Detail View pane of the Dell EMC Diagram View. Along with the inventory
information of each NIC, chassis ID information of the switch and the port ID information is populated. This feature is available
for Dell EMC PowerEdge servers that are discovered through both the iDRAC and iSM methods of Dell EMC Server and Rack
Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature.
Hardware components of servers and rack
workstations monitored by OMIMSSC
The following table provides information about the monitored hardware components that are supported in Scalable and Detailed
feature for Dell EMC devices that are discovered through iDRAC–WS-Man in OMIMSSC.
