Management Pack Components
The Management Pack imports the following components to discover and manage Dell systems over
a
network:
• Processing rule groups for Dell events: The Dell processing rule group contains a list of rules for each
Dell event that is generated from Server Administrator (including the enhanced Storage Management
Service) and Array Manager. These rules are invoked based on the criteria defined for that rule, which
include the event source, the event ID, and the type of event. When the event criteria matches the
rule, and if the event is a warning or a critical event, then an alert is generated. The alert is a Dell
system-specific alert, which is logged in the
Dell OpenManage Alerts view located under the Dell
OpenManage section of the public views folder. The processing rule group for Dell events is associated
with a Computer Group.
NOTE: No informational events are supported. The alert processing rules for Server Administrator (including
the enhanced Storage Management Service) and Array Manager provide notification to the hardware
support notification groups.
• State Monitoring and Service Discovery Rule Group: The Dell state monitoring rule group processes
the Server Administrator and Array Manager events. The rule group monitors the state of Dell Agent
components (Battery, Fan, Intrusion, Temperature, Memory, Voltage, Power Supply, Current, AC
Switch, Main System Chassis, Storage, Processor, and Hardware Log) and updates the Dell State View.
The Dell service discovery rule group performs service discovery of Dell server attributes such as
Dell Asset Tag, Dell Server IP Address, Dell Server Model Type, Dell Server OS, Dell Service Tag,
Dell BIOS, Dell Server Administrator version, Dell Server BMC IP address, Dell Server IPMI version,
and Dell Server RAC URL.
The tree structure for the processing rule group in the MOM console is shown in Figure 4-1.
