About this task
Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature using iSM-WMI provides Detailed or Scalable inventory, based on
your method of discovery and monitoring of the following devices:
● YX2X, YX3X, and iDRAC 9-based PowerEdge servers
● PowerVault servers
● Dell Precision Racks
● Dell-branded OEM servers
● Dell OEM Ready servers
● PowerEdge Storage Spaces Direct Ready nodes
Inventory and monitoring of these devices could be done through iDRAC Service Module (iSM) installed on the managed Dell
EMC Server or Rack Workstation through iSM–WMI. For the list of Supported Platforms for iSM, see the iDRAC Service Module
Installation Guide on the Dell Technologies support site.
