• Problem event with another problem event — OMSA, iDRAC7, and EqualLogic events support this event
correlation.
The dell_omsa_clear trigger correlates the OMSA problem event by another problem event.
The dell_equallogic_clear trigger correlates the EqualLogic problem events.
The dell_dclm_clear trigger correlates the DCLM problem polled events.
The dell_mdarray_clear trigger correlates the MD Array problem polled events.
The dell_idrac_clear trigger correlates the iDRAC problem events.
• Duplicated problem event with another problem event — OMSA, Dell EqualLogic Storage Arrays, Dell
PowerVault MD Storage Arrays, ESXi, and DCLM events support this event correlation.
The dell_omsa_deduplicate_clear trigger correlates the OMSA problem events.
The dell_equallogic_deduplicate_clear trigger correlates the EqualLogic problem events.
The dell_dclm_deduplicate_clear trigger correlates the DCLM problem polled events.
The dell_mdarray_deduplicate_clear trigger correlates the MD Array problem polled events.
The dell_idrac_deduplicate_clear trigger correlates the iDRAC problem events.
NOTE: The normal to normal event correlation is not supported as Netcool/OMNIbus periodically clears the normal
events. For more information on OMSA and OMSS event correlation, see
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
Messages Reference Guide
at dell.com/support/manuals. For more information on EqualLogic event correlation,
see EqualLogic Alert Correlation.
NOTE: Event auto correlation support is not available between legacy and enhanced event message format traps
for in-band Dell Servers.
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Console
The Dell OpenManage Connection enables you to launch the OMSA console to get more information about the Dell
system you are monitoring. You can launch the OMSA console from the Desktop Event List or from the Active Event List
of the Web GUI.
NOTE: Practical Extraction and Report Language (Perl) is required for the execution of Common Gateway Interface
(CGI) scripts in Web GUI. If Perl is installed in a nonstandard location, then the CGI scripts do not function properly.
Always ensure that the paths to the resources in the CGI scripts are correct. The standard installation location of
Perl on systems running the Windows and Linux operating system is C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe and /usr/bin/perl
respectively. For more information, see the
IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Administration Guide.
NOTE: Even though the Launch Dell Server Administrator Console tool gets associated with traps and events of the
Dell servers installed with VMware ESXi operating systems, the console launch will not work.
