Feature management tasks
The following table lists the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation monitoring feature (using iSM-WMI) tasks available on the
Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard. Some tasks that are listed in the Feature Management tasks table appear only
after you have imported the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature.
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.
