EqualLogic Alert Correlation
The following EqualLogic alerts support alert correlation:
DiskStatus
TempSensorThreshold
FanSpeedThreshold
PowerSupplyFan
PowerSupply
SCSITgtDevice
SCSILuStatus
The alerts are correlated using the Dell automation triggers on IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus. The alerts are displayed on
the Netcool/OMNIbus console with the latest status. For example, DiskStatus alert is displayed with the latest status
and all the previous DiskStatus alerts are cleared on the Netcool/OMNIbus console.
Configuring SNMP Trap Destination for 12G Servers
You must configure the SNMP Trap destination in the Dell server for forwarding the SNMP traps to a particular
management station IP (that is, the MTrapd Probe Server IP address). As you can monitor Dell 12G servers through in-
band (using Server Administrator in the server host) or out-of-band (using iDRAC7), administrator must configure the
trap destination in server host or iDRAC7 respectively. The server monitoring status remains same irrespective of the
monitoring mode. The administrator must ensure that the trap destination is not configured in both modes, else
redundant SNMP traps are sent to the OMNIbus console. Therefore, it is recommended that the administrator
configures the SNMP trap destination for only one mode – either in-band or out-of-band.
To monitor 12G servers through in-band mode:
1. Administrators must set the SNMP trap destination as the Management Station IP/host in the in-band server host.
2. Administrators must ensure that the Management Station IP/host does not exist in the SNMP trap destination list
of iDRAC7.
To monitor 12G server through OOB mode:
1. Administrators must set the SNMP trap destination as the Management Station IP/host in iDRAC7.
For information on configuring the trap destinations for in-band and OOB servers, see the section,

System To Send Traps To A Management Station

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 7.3 User's
