6 Issues ● Servers that have an in-built PSU or the drives that are connected to Embedded Controller always display a warning status in vROPS, because Embedded Controller is not monitored by iDRAC. ● The removed PSUs or fans exist under Dell chassis. In such a situation, because the health cannot be retrieved the FAN or PSU status is displayed as Critical.
