Inventory and Monitoring Storage Devices
You can remotely monitor the health and view the inventory of the following Comprehensive Embedded Management (CEM) enabled
storage devices in the managed system using iDRAC Web interface:
• RAID controllers, non-RAID controllers, and PCIe extenders
• Enclosures that includes Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs), power supply, fan probe, and temperature probe
• Physical disks
• Virtual disks
• Batteries
However, RACADM and WS-MAN display information for most of the storage devices in the system.
iDRAC inventories and monitors the PERC 8 series of RAID controllers that include H310, H710, H710P, and H810. The controllers that do
not support Comprehensive Embedded Management are Internal Tape Adapters (ITAs), SAS 6 Gbps HBA, and SAS 12 Gbps HBA.
The recent storage events and topology of storage devices are also displayed.
Alerts and SNMP traps are generated for storage events. The events are logged in the Lifecycle Log.
Monitoring Storage Device Using Web Interface
To view the storage device information using Web interface:
• Go to Overview > Storage > Summary to view the summary of the storage components and the recently logged events. This page
is automatically refreshed every 30 seconds.
• Go to Overview > Storage > Topology to view the hierarchical physical containment view of the key storage components.
• Go to Overview > Storage > Physical Disks > Properties to view physical disk information. The Physical Disks Properties page
is displayed.
• Go to Overview > Storage > Virtual Disks > Properties to view virtual disks information. The Virtual Disks Properties page is
displayed.
• Go to Overview > Storage > Controllers > Properties to view the RAID controller information. The Controllers Properties page
is displayed.
• Go to Overview > Storage > Enclosures > Properties to view the enclosure information. The Enclosures Properties page is
