Using the Dell OpenManage Connection for IBM
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus
Dell OpenManage Connection for IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus allows event monitoring, automatic event correlation,
and launching device consoles on the Netcool/OMNIbus console. These features are supported on different
components of Netcool/OMNIbus such as Probe, ObjectServer, Web GUI, and Desktop appropriately.
Event Monitoring Using SNMP Traps
The Dell OpenManage Connection monitors Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault servers in-band (from 9G-12G) and out-of-
band (12G only), Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC), Dell PowerEdge M1000e (Dell Chassis Management Controller),
Dell PowerEdge VRTX (VRTX Chassis Management Controller), Dell EqualLogic Storage Arrays, and Dell PowerVault MD
Storage Arrays that receive SNMP traps from Dell devices. You can use both Desktop and Web GUI client to monitor the
systems.
To distinguish among the various devices on the Netcool/OMNIbus console, a class value is assigned to the Dell devices
as listed in the following table.

The event monitoring process is as follows:
1. The SNMP probe receives the SNMP traps from the servers, OOB 12G servers (iDRAC7), DRAC, CMC, VRTX CMC,
EqualLogic Storage Arrays, or Dell PowerVault MD Storage Arrays.
2. The SNMP probe converts the trap into an event using the respective rules, which then filters the traps from the
Dell devices and populates the event fields with the appropriate value.
3. The SNMP probe forwards the events to the ObjectServer.
4. The Desktop and Web GUI consoles display the events by communicating with the ObjectServer.
