Alert Views
The Alert Views are available in the MOM Operators Console.
To launch the MOM Operators Console, select Operations in the left tree view of the MOM
Administrator Console and click the Start Operators Console link in the right pane view.
1 In the MOM Operators Console , on the left pane click the Alert tab.
2 Select Dell OpenManage in the MOM Operators Console tree.
Two views are displayed, the Dell OpenManage Alerts View and the Dell State Monitoring Alerts View.
The Dell OpenManage Alerts View displays the warning and critical alerts generated by Server
Administrator (including the enhanced Storage Management Service) and Array Manager events.
The Dell State Monitoring Alerts View displays the warning and critical alerts that change the state of
the components in the Dell State View.
The Server Administrator launch point is displayed in the alert descriptions for all Dell OpenManage alerts.
NOTE: For Dell State Monitoring Alerts, if you change the Server Administrator launch point port number of a
managed system, the Server Administrator launch point does not reflect the changed Server Administrator launch
point port number. You must manually resolve all Dell State Monitoring Alerts corresponding to the managed
system to view the new Server Administrator launch point. For Dell OpenManage Alerts, the alert description
displays the updated Server Administrator launch point.
The DRAC launch point is displayed in the alert descriptions for systems that have DRAC cards with the
DRAC agent installed.
NOTE: For Dell State Monitoring Alerts, if you change the DRAC IP address of a managed system, the DRAC launch
point does not reflect the changed DRAC IP address. You must manually resolve all Dell state monitoring alerts
corresponding to the managed system to view the new DRAC IP address. For Dell OpenManage Alerts, the alert
description displays the updated DRAC launch point.
State Views
The Management Pack provides a list of Dell states to help you monitor the health of your managed Dell
systems in the network. The Dell State view displays the status of each hardware component as a part of
the Dell Agents role. MOM updates the status of managed systems in the State View.
Using the Dell Agents Role
The Dell Agents Role displays the state of each Dell hardware component running on the agent managed
system. To set the state of the Dell Agents component, the Dell service discovery script must be run at
least once for discovery instances of Dell servers to exist. The state of the Dell agents is updated based on
the scheduled time interval or by tasks.
