Dell EMC Network Interfaces Component Hierarchy

The Dell EMC Network Interfaces group is created only when an Intel or Broadcom network interface card is present and

enabled on the Dell EMC PowerEdge Server. Network interfaces are grouped under Physical Interfaces and Teamed

Interfaces. If you disable a network interface, the network interfaces group will be removed from management in the next

discovery cycle.

A reference relationship is created between a Teamed network interface and its associated Physical network interfaces. You can

view the reference relationship only when you enable the Enable Correlation attribute of Dell EMC Windows Server

Physical and Teamed Relationship Discovery. For more information, see Enabling Correlation.

Enabling Correlation

To enable the Enable Correlation attribute:

1. Start the Operations Manager console.

2. In the navigation pane, click Authoring.

3. On the Authoring tab, click Management Pack Objects > Object Discoveries.

4. Search for Dell Windows Server Physical and Teamed Relationship Discovery Rule in the Look for

field.

5. Right-click Dell Windows Server Physical and Teamed Relationship Discovery Rule > Overrides > Override the

Object Discovery > For all objects of class: Teamed Network Interface instance (Enriched).

The Override Properties page is displayed.

6. Select Enable Correlation and set the Override Value to True and click OK.

The status roll-up of network interfaces on the diagram view is displayed only up to the Network Interfaces group level. For

example, if the remaining components of the Dell server are normal and only one or more of the network interfaces are critical or

noncritical, the Dell system displays the health state normal icon, and the Network Interfaces group displays the Critical or

Warning icon.
