Feature management tasks for monitoring PowerEdge servers and rack
workstations in DSMPS
After DSMPS is installed, the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature is auto-imported into SCOM and its
related tasks are available in the Feature Management tasks section. The following table lists the Server and Rack Workstations
Monitoring feature tasks available on the Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard.
NOTE: 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 already imported while importing a monitoring feature.
NOTE: Wait for a task to complete (view the state update change in the dashboard) before starting another task using the
Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard.
