Dell Alert Processing Rules
For all critical and warning alerts generated by Server Administrator (including the enhanced Storage
Management Service) and Array Manager events, a notification message is sent to the hardware support
notification groups.
Dell State Monitoring and Service Discovery Rules
Dell State Monitoring rules monitor Server Administrator events (including the enhanced Storage
Management Service events) and Array Manager events. The state monitoring rule executes the Dell
state monitoring script that retrieves the state of each hardware and software component and updates
the component status in the Dell State View. The Computer field and Logging Domain field of the alert
must remain identical so that the state monitoring alerts are duplicated and suppressed.
The Server Administrator launch point and the DRAC launch point are provided in the state monitoring
alert description field, which enables you to launch Server Administrator and the DRAC Web console
from the MOM console.
The Service Discovery rule discovers a Dell system and its attributes. The attributes are service tag, asset
tag, system IP address, operating system name, and system model type. The rule also updates the status
of the system and storage components in the Dell State View. This rule is executed every 60 minutes.
Serial Text Console Redirection
NOTE: Serial Text Console redirection is provided by the BMC. The feature is available with x8xx or later systems
and is not a part of the Dell Management Pack. For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Baseboard
