Feature management tasks for monitoring PowerEdge servers and rack
workstations
After Dell EMC Windows Server Agent-based and iDRAC7 or iDRAC8 SNMP Management Pack is installed, the Dell EMC
Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature is auto-imported into SCOM and its related tasks are available in the Feature
Management tasks section. The following table lists the Server and Rack Workstations Monitoring feature tasks available on the
Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard.
NOTE: In the event log, ignore the errors pertaining to reimporting of existing management packs under the error logs.
These errors occur when Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard reimports all the dependent management packs that
are already imported while importing a monitoring feature.
NOTE: Wait for a task to complete (view the state update change in the dashboard) before starting another task using the
Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard.
