Viewing dashboards Dashboards enable you to monitor and analyze the Dell PowerEdge servers and chassis environment in vROPS. The following dashboards are available in vRealize Operations Manager: • • • • Dell Servers Overview Dashboard Dell Server Detailed Dashboard Dell Chassis Overview Dashboard Dell Chassis Detailed Dashboard Dell servers overview dashboard Following are the parameters displayed in the Dell Servers Overview Dashboard: Figure 1. Dell Servers Overview Dashboard 1.
9. Select Above For Power Consumption Trend: Displays the power consumption trend for the server selected in the Top High Power Consuming Servers (watt) widget. Dell server detailed dashboard In the Dell server detailed dashboard, you can view the overall health status of the fan, battery, voltage, memory, temperature, physical disk, power supply, and processor of the server. Figure 2. Dell Server Detailed Dashboard 1.
Figure 3. Dell Chassis Overview Dashboard 1. Dell Chassis Environmental Health: Displays the health status of all the chassis. Red indicates the critical state, yellow indicates warning state, and green indicates healthy state. The source of Dell Chassis Environmental Health is defined as Dell Chassis|Badge|Health State. 2. Dell Chassis Top Alerts: Displays top 15 alerts of the chassis. The source of Dell Chassis Top Alerts is defined as Dell Chassis Group. 3.
Figure 4. Dell Chassis Detailed Dashboard 1. Dell Chassis List: Displays the chassis and the details such as, Hostname, Model, ServiceTag, IPAddress, Chassis Overall health, PSU Rollup Status, and Fan Rollup Status. The source of Dell Chasssi List is defined as Chassis Metrics|Model, Chassis Metrics|Host Name, Chassis Metrics|IpAddress, Chassis Metrics|Service Tag, Chassis Metrics|Chassis Overall Health, Chassis Metrics|PSU Rollup Status, and Chassis Metrics|Fan Rollup Status. 2.
Accessing views for the group of servers Perform the following steps to access Dell server group views for all the servers: 1. Launch vRealize Operations Manager for a console. 2. On the Home tab, click Environment. 3. Expand All Objects, and click Dell OpenManage Adapter. 4. Expand Dell Servers Group, again click Dell Servers Group, and then select the Details tab.

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.
