Using Map View
NOTE: The Map View feature is available only if you have discovered any licensed Dell PowerEdge
VRTX devices using the WS-Man protocol. If the licensed PowerEdge VRTX device is discovered
using the SNMP protocol, the Map View feature is not available. In this case, you must rediscover
the PowerEdge VRTX device using the WS-Man protocol.
NOTE: The map displayed in Map View should be considered as is from the map service provider.
OpenManage Essentials does not have any control over the accuracy of the map or address
information.
NOTE: An Internet connection is required to perform some of the map functions such as zoom,
address search, and so on. If you are not connected to the Internet, the following message is
displayed on the map: Warning — Unable to connect to the Internet!.
The Map View feature allows the display and management of PowerEdge VRTX devices with an
Enterprise license on an interactive geographic map. PowerEdge VRTX devices with an Enterprise license
are represented as pins on the map. The health and connectivity status can be viewed for all PowerEdge
VRTX devices with an Enterprise license at a glance.
You can access Map View from the Home Portal or Manage → Devices portal page.
The Overlays menu at the top-right of the map allows you to overlay the health and connectivity status
of the device on the pin. The Actions menu at the top-right of the map allows you to perform various
functions on the map. The following is the list of available actions:
