NOTE: PERC 10 no longer supports convert drives to non-RAID, convert controller to HBA mode and RAID 10 uneven
span support.
Inventorying 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, BOSS controllers and PCIe extenders
• Enclosures that include Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs), power supply, fan probe, and temperature probe
• Physical disks
• Virtual disks
• Batteries
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.
NOTE:
For an accurate inventory of BOSS controllers, ensure that Collect System Inventory On Reboot Operation
(CSIOR) is completed. CSIOR is enabled by default.
NOTE: If you enumerate the enclosure view's WSMan command on a system while one PSU-cable is removed, the
primary status of the enclosure view is reported as Healthy instead of Warning.
NOTE: The storage health rollup follows the same convention of Dell EMC OpenManage product. For more information
see the OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide available at www.dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
NOTE: Physical disks in system with multiple backplanes may be listed under a different backplane. Use the blink
function to identify the disks.
Monitoring storage devices using web interface
To view the storage device information using web interface:
• Go to Storage > Overview > Summary to view the summary of the storage components and the recently logged events. This page
is automatically refreshed every 30 seconds.
• Go to Storage > Overview > Controllers to view the RAID controller information. The Controllers page is displayed.
• Go to Storage > Overview > Physical Disks to view physical disk information. The Physical Disks page is displayed.
• Go to Storage > Overview > Virtual Disks to view virtual disk information. The Virtual Disks page is displayed.
• Go to Storage > Overview > Enclosures to view the enclosure information. The Enclosures page is displayed.
You can also use filters to view specific device information.
NOTE:
The storage hardware list is not displayed in case the system does not have storage devices with CEM support.
NOTE: When NVMe SSDs are in RAID mode behind S140 controller, web interface does not display NVMe SSD’s slot
information in the Enclosure page. Refer Physical Disks page for the details.
NOTE: If the NVMe SSDs in the backplane slots support NVMe-MI commands and the I2C connection to backplane slots
are fine, the iDRAC discovers these NVMe SSDs and reports them in the interfaces irrespective of the PCI connections
to the respective backplane slots.
For more information about the displayed properties and to use the filter options, see the iDRAC Online Help.
