Key features of Dell EMC PowerEdge Server through iDRAC–WS-MAN for Dell EMC
Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature
This section lists the key features for servers discovered through Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed)
feature.
● System Configuration Lockdown Mode
● iDRAC Group Manager
● Event Auto Resolution
● Capacity Planning
● iDRAC detection of failed CMC
● Server Port Connection Information
System Configuration Lockdown Mode
System Configuration Lockdown mode feature is available for iDRAC 9-based PowerEdge servers which lock the system’s
configuration including firmware updates. Once, the System Configuration Lockdown Mode is enabled, you cannot change the
system’s configuration. This feature is intended to protect the system from unintentional changes. Using iDRAC console, you
can enable or disable the System Configuration Lockdown mode.
When the System Configuration Lockdown mode is enabled, you cannot configure the trap destination information in the
servers. Hence, alerts are not generated for monitoring. In such a case, you are notified with a critical alert conveying that
System Configuration Lockdown mode is enabled, and trap destination information for alerts is not configured.
NOTE:
It is recommended to update the Dell OM : System configuration lockdown alert rule interval, immediately after the
server discovery interval is updated or modified. This recommendation ensures that the System Lockdown mode alert is
generated after the completion of server discovery with a certain interval.
You can view the details of the System Configuration Lockdown mode in the Detail View pane of the Dell EMC Diagram View.

more powerful management than by inspecting servers visually for faults and other manual methods.
