Users Guide

Below the Recent Alerts is the Recent Activity section, which displays the list of recent activities that are associated with
the compute. The status and timestamp of completion of the activities are also displayed. Click View All to view the list of all
activities in the Jobs page.
NOTE: The time that is displayed is based on the time zone of the system from where OME-Modular is accessed.
A graphical representation of the remote console is displayed on the right-side of the page. Below the remote console image,
you can use the following links:
● Launch iDRAC—Displays the iDRAC user interface.
● Launch Virtual Console—Opens the virtual console.
The Launch iDRAC or Launch Virtual Console options are disabled based on the:
● Readiness of iDRAC
● Power off state of the compute sled
● Availability of express license in iDRAC
● Status of firmware update in iDRAC
● Status of the virtual console
Also, Internet Explorer and Safari have certain limitations that restrict the reuse of OME–Modular sessions. Hence, you are
prompted to enter the OME–Modular user credentials to access iDRAC.
NOTE: The virtual console preview is unavailable for users with the "Viewer" User Role type.
A summary of information about the server sub systems is displayed below the remote console image. The information includes
the health status of the components such as battery, memory, processor, and voltage.
NOTE:
The REASON for SEL/Misc may be empty if the health of the SEL/Misc sub system is not ok. There are SEL
events that do not have an associated fault that is displayed under REASON. In such cases, look for the hardware log for
details about the SEL event.
The Environment section at the right-side bottom of the Overview page displays the temperature and power supply
information of the compute. You can also view the power and temperature statistics for the compute.
In the Power Statistics window, click Reset to reset the power statistics and start monitoring period.
The temperature statistics may not be displayed if the server is turned off. Wait for at least 24 hours after the server is turned
on for the temperature statistics to appear.
NOTE: The temperature statistics timestamp remains unchanged after a failover or management module reboot.
NOTE: The Peak Power value that is displayed is the last peak value irrespective of the power state of the device or
component.
If you have the Compute Manager privileges, you can perform the following tasks in this tab:
● Power Control tasks:
○ Power Off (Non-graceful)—Turns off the server power, which is equivalent to pressing the power button when the
server is turned on. This option is disabled if the server is already turned off. It does not notify the server operating
system.
○ Power Cycle System (Cold Boot)—Turns off and then restarts the server (cold boot). This option is disabled if the
server is already turned off.
○ System Reset (Warm Boot)—Restarts (resets) the server without turning off (warm boot).
○ Power Off (Graceful)—Notifies the server operating system to turn off the server. This option is disabled if the server
is already turned off.
NOTE:
For Linux operating system—Configure power settings as power off for the successful graceful shutdown
operation and to avoid watchdog reboot errors. For more information, see https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/red-hat-
entps-lx-v70_release-notes_en-us.pdf.
○ System Reseat—Removes the compute sled virtually.
○ Power On—Turns on the server power, which is equivalent to pressing the power button when the server is turned off.
This option is disabled if the server is already turned on.
● Extract SupportAssist logs and reset iDRAC using Troubleshoot.
SupportAssist is used to collate hardware, operating system, and RAID controller logs and store the logs in the NFS or CIFS
share location.
iDRAC reset helps in troubleshooting when iDRAC is noncommunicative.
