● Recent Activity—Displays the status of the jobs performed in the compute sled.
● Remote Console—Displays 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 GUI.
○ Launch Virtual Console—Opens the virtual console.
NOTE: The virtual console preview is unavailable for users with the "Viewer" User Role type.
● Server Subsystems—Displays a summary of information about the server sub systems. The information includes the health
status of the components such as battery, memory, processor, and voltage.
● Environment—Displays the temperature and power supply information of the compute. You can also view the power and
temperature statistics for the compute.
NOTE: The time displayed is based on the time zone of the system from where OME–Modular is accessed.
NOTE: 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 Peak Power value 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.
○ 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 non-communicative.
● Turn-on or turn off LEDs using Blink LED. The available options are:
○ 1 Minute
○ 10 Minutes
○ 30 Minutes
○ 1 Hour
○ Indefinitely
● Configuration Profile tasks:
○ Associate server profiles—You can associate profiles to blade servers. The profile is extracted from the server and is
attached to the slot containing the server.
○ Migrate server profiles—You can migrate a profile from one server to another. The system unassigns the identity from
the first server before the migration. If the unassignment fails, the system displays a critical error. You can override the
error and force the migration to a new server.
○ Edit server profiles—You can edit the profile characteristics that are unique to the device or slot. If a profile is attached
to a compute, the updated profile configuration is propagated to the compute.
○ Remove slot associations—You can detach the server profile from the slot.
