Array Manager
This category includes all warning and critical events for Array Manager versions 3.4–3.7. All of these
events have a corresponding event processing rule.
Each of these rules are processed based on the following criteria:
• Source Name = "VxSvc*"
NOTE: Dell uses the wild card character ( * ) search to match all Array Manager event sources. The possible
Array
Manager event sources are VxSvc_disk, VxSvc_fsys, VxSvc_ftdisk, VxSvc_PercPro, VxSvc_Perc2Pro,
VxSvc_AspiPro, VxSvc_mount, VxSvc_Mylex, VxSvc_pnp, and VxSvc_VMNT. Consequently, the source name
uses
the prefix VxSvc followed by any number of characters after the asterisk.
• Event ID = Actual event ID of the Array Manager event
• Severity = Severity of the actual event
• Data Provider = Windows application event log
Discovery
This rule group discovers Dell servers without Server Administrator and generates a warning message
stating that these servers require Server Administrator.
The server classification is based on the following criteria:
• BIOS manufacturer must contain substring Dell
• Absence of the Server Administrator registry key
Management Servers
This rule group creates the <management group name>_bmcServers.xml file. The file is generated on
the MOM 2005 Management Server at the BMC Management Utility installation directory. The file
contains a list of MOM Agents with BMC IP Address, BMC User name and BMC Password for Dell
systems with BMC configured.
NOTE: The <management group name>_bmcServers.xml file must be updated manually, if the BMC authentication
details of a system are modified during startup or using Server Administrator.
Default Rule Properties
All Dell OpenManage events generate an alert by default. The severity level of the alert is based on the
severity level of the event. See
