Enhancements to iDRAC7 Alert Notification
15
Summary
The alert enhancements in the iDRAC7 1.30.30 firmware release provide IT administrators with more
options, methods, and granularity to manage Dell PowerEdge servers. Key improvements include:
 Improved web interface that is more user friendly
 Individual alert messages with recommended actions for resolving events
 Alerts for more subsystem categories such as storage and configuration
 Additional types of alerts including SNMP, WS Events, authenticated email, and remote syslog
Additionally, you can receive alerts for servers that have no operating system installed, and therefore,
no need for installing an operating system agent such as OMSA. You can configure alert destinations
using a fully qualified domain name instead of an IP address. Plus you now have the ability to search
and view the newly standardized message database using the iDRAC7 web interface.
Dell continues to listen to our customers and provide features that meet the needs of the
ever-changing IT world. By adding these enhancements to the alerting feature, administrators have
much more flexibility to configure alerts for their specific environment.
