34 What’s New for Dell OpenManage IT Assistant Version 8.6?
Integrated Secure Digital (SD) Card Traps
The new generation Dell PowerEdge™ systems (xx1x) use internal SD cards
for embedded hypervisor and VFlash media. IT Assistant can discover and
monitor the health and redundancy status of SD cards. Similar to other
SNMP traps, you can associate alerts actions such as, e-mail notification or
launch an application for the SD card related traps.
For example, you can associate alert actions for the traps that are generated
on insertion or removal of VFlash media or embedded hypervisor media. This
allows you to:
• Secure the systems from malicious data being transferred through the
VFlash media or embedded hypervisor media.
• Detect unauthorized removal of VFlash media or embedded hypervisor
media.
For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User’s
Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com/manuals.
