Devices — Reference
This page provides the following information:
List of devices based on the device type, for example, HA clusters, servers, and so on.
Summary of devices and alerts.
Alerts generated for a particular device.
Health of devices based on the Normal, Critical, Unknown, and Warning types.
NOTE: For Dell 12 Generation PowerEdge servers [denoted as yx2 x, where y denotes alphabets,
for example M (modular), R (rack), or T (tower) and x denotes numbers] discovered using WMI
and SNMP protocols, the DRAC health status is displayed (under Servers) even if OpenManage
Server Administrator is not installed on the server.
NOTE: Based on the severity of the agents of a discovered device, the overall health is the most
critical of the severity. For example, in the device tree, for server types, if there are two servers
with status Warning and Critical, then the parent Server’s status is set to Critical.
Connection status of devices — When both server (in-band) and DRAC/iDRAC (out-of-band) are
discovered and correlated, the Connection Status under Device Summary displays the connection
status of the server. The RAC Connection Status under RAC Device Information displays the DRAC/
iDRAC connection status. When only DRAC/iDRAC (out-of-band) is discovered (server is not
discovered), the Connection Status and the RAC Connection Status display the same information.
When only server (in-band) is discovered (DRAC/iDRAC is not discovered), the Connection Status
displays the connection status of the server. The RAC Connection Status is set to Off.
