Identify device and device power status by using
identification LEDs
About this task
Advanced power control and LED identification tasks use the default BMC credentials and installation path (C:\Program
Files\Dell\SysMgt\bmc). If the systems deviate from the default BMC credentials and installation path, install BMU 2.0 or
later the management server and create new console tasks.
NOTE:
For the following steps, create a task and set the password in plain text. If BMC is not installed on the management
server, the SCOM console may indicate an error with the entire command in a dialog box, and then reveal the password. If
you export the created override management pack containing this task to a drive:
● Open the exported management pack in a common text editor.
● View the password in plain text in the Authoring section of the SCOM console.
NOTE: Create a task only if necessary and consider the security aspects before you proceed.
To create a task for managing the status of LED to identify the status of a device power:
Steps
1. On the SCOM console, in the left pane, click Authoring.
2. Under Management Pack Objects, right-click Tasks, and then select Create a New Task.
3. In the Select a Task Type dialog box, do the following:
a. In the Select the type of task to create section, select Command line.
b. Select a destination management pack.
c. Click Next.
d. Enter a task name and its description.
To select a task target, click Select, and then select from the Select Items to Target dialog box. In this case, select
Dell Windows Server—For Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature.
e. Click Next.
The Command Line screen is displayed.
f. In the Application box, enter the ipmitool.exe application path (the path where BMU was installed on the management
server).
For example, C:\Program Files\Dell\SysMgt\bmc\ipmitool.exe. For the two LED identification tasks, the
application path is C:\Program Files\Dell\SysMgt\bmc\ipmish.exe (default BMU path may differ based on
the operating system language).
4. For power control tasks, in the Parameters field, enter the command-line parameters in the following format:
