Viewing events
Ensure that you configure events before you can view them in the Events tab. See Configuring events and alarms.
View the events for a host, cluster, or data center in the events tab.
1. In the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Navigator, click Hosts, Datacenter or Clusters.
2. In the Objects tab, select a specific host, data center, or cluster for which you want to view events.
3. In the Monitor tab, click Events.
4. To view the event details, select a specific event.
Hardware component health—Proactive HA
Proactive HA is a vCenter (vCenter 6.5 and later) feature that works with OMIVV. When you enable Proactive HA, the feature
safeguards your workloads by proactively taking measures during redundant component failures in a host.
NOTE: All hosts from the Dell PowerEdge 12th generation and later, and the ESXi versions v6.0 and later that are part of a
connection profile and successfully inventoried are eligible for Proactive HA.
To assess the status of redundant host server components, the OMIVV appliance updates the host component health status
change to the vCenter server. The available status states of the major host server components, such as power supply, fans, and
internal dual SD module (IDSDM) are:
● Healthy (green check mark)—component operating normally.
● Warning (yellow triangle with exclamation point)—component has a noncritical error.
● Critical (red X)—component has a critical failure.
When OMIVV detects a component health status change (either through traps or polling), the health update notification of the
component is forwarded with the status to the vCenter server. Based on the notification, the vCenter server takes either a
manual or an automatic action, as configured by you. The vCenter server takes either of the following actions:
● Place host in quarantine mode
● Place host in maintenance mode
Configuring Proactive HA for Rack servers
To configure for Rack servers, perform the following steps:
1. Create a connection profile and associate hosts with connection profile. See Creating a connection profile.
2. Verify that hosts inventory is completed successfully. See Viewing hosts inventory.
3. Verify that the SNMP trap destination in iDRAC is set as the OMIVV appliance IP address.
4. Enable Proactive HA on a cluster. See Enabling Proactive HA on a cluster.
Configuring Proactive HA for Modular servers
To configure for Modular servers, perform the following steps:
1. Create a connection profile and associate hosts with connection profile. See Creating a connection profile.
2. Verify that hosts inventory is completed successfully. See Viewing hosts inventory.
3. Create a chassis profile for associated chassis. See Creating a chassis profile.
4. Verify that chassis inventory is completed successfully. See Viewing chassis inventory.
5. Launch CMC and verify that the trap destination for chassis is set as the OMIVV appliance IP address.
6. In Chassis Management Controller, go to Setup > General.
7. In the General Chassis Settings page, select Enable Enhanced Chassis Logging and Events.
8. Enable Proactive HA on a cluster. See Enabling Proactive HA on a cluster.
Enabling Proactive HA on clusters
Before enabling Proactive HA on clusters, ensure that the following conditions are met:
