1 OpenManage Management Pack for vRealize Operations Manager OpenManage Management Pack for vRealize Operations Manager (vROPS) enables monitoring of different metrics and hardware resources in the PowerEdge server (12th generation of PowerEdge servers and later) and chassis by using vRealize Operations Manager and requires vROPS up to version 7.5. OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter (OMIVV) is a product that manages the ESXi servers within the VMware vCenter.
Monitoring the servers Server monitoring is the process of reviewing and analyzing a server for health, inventory, availability, and other operations-related processes. You can also monitor the components of servers such as CPU, memory, PSU, fan, temperature, physical disks, and so on. For more information, see the Dell EMC servers overview dashboard. Perform the following steps to monitor a server: 1. Launch the vRealize Operations Manager console. 2. From the Home tab, click Environment. 3.
Firmware update report for Servers Firmware update report displays the current and available versions of the firmware for each component of Servers. Perform the following steps to generate firmware update report: 1. On the Dashboards tab, click Reports. 2. Select Dell EMC Server Firmware Update Summary Report. 3. Click Run Template and select All Objects → Dell EMC OpenManage Adapter → Dell EMC Firmware Group → Dell Firmware Group . 4. Click OK.
Figure 1. Dell EMC Servers Overview Dashboard 1. Dell EMC Servers Environmental Health: Displays the health status of all the servers. Red indicates Critical state, yellow indicates Warning state, and green indicates Healthy state. The source of Dell EMC Servers Environmental Health is defined as Server Metrics|Server Overall Health (Enum). NOTE: Health status is reported based on polling, SNMP Trap (External Alerts) does not impact this heatmap. 2.
NOTE: Health status is not reported if Warranty Notification Threshold is disabled at OMIVV or warranty is not collected for server. Changing the top high Temperature Servers to Celsius By default the temperature parameter is set to Fahrenheit. Perform the following steps to change the temperature to Celsius: 1. Launch the vRealize Operations Manager console. 2. Click Dashboards and select Dell EMC Servers Overview Dashboard. 3. Click Edit Widget at Top High Temperature Servers(Fahrenheit) tab.
Dell EMC chassis overview dashboard Dell EMC chassis overview dashboard displays the overall heath status of the chassis environment. Figure 3. Dell EMC Chassis Overview Dashboard 1. Dell EMC 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. Health status is reported based on polling alone, SNMP Trap (External Alerts) does not impact this heatmap.
Figure 4. Dell EMC Chassis detailed dashboard 1. Dell EMC 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 EMC 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. Click Environment. 3. Expand All Objects, and click Dell OpenManage Adapter. 4. Expand Dell EMC Servers Group, again click Dell Servers Group, and then select the Details tab. A List of views is displayed.
Accessing reports The OpenManage Management Pack for vRealize Operations Manager provides custom reports for the following: • • • • • • • Dell EMC Server Firmware Summary Report Dell EMC Server Power Details Dell EMC Server Warranty Dell EMC Server SSD Write Endurance Report Dell EMC Server Hardware Configuration Drift Report.
Dell EMC Server Power Details Dell EMC server power details displays the PowerEdge Model, Average Energy Consumption, System Peak Power (Watt), System Peak Amps (A), Warning Threshold (Watt), Chassis IP address ,Chassis Service Tag and, Failure Threshold (Watt) of the Dell EMC PowerEdge servers. Perform the following steps to access Dell EMC server power details: 1. On the Dashboards tab, click Reports. 2. Select Dell EMC Server Power Details. 3.
Viewing alerts OpenManage Management Pack for vRealize Operations Manager displays any events from the Dell EMC servers, chassis and associated components as alerts. It also recommends that you perform certain steps to overcome the unusual events. If the extended monitoring or firmware metric collection job fails for a server, a warning alert is created for that particular server. There are two different types of alerts.
2 License metrics of OMIVV To access the license metrics of OMIVV: Click Environment > All objects > Dell EMC OpenManage Adapter > Dell EMC OpenManage Adapter Instance > Select Instance > All metrics > License Info. The license for OMIVV is also the licensing used for the management pack. License metrics of OMIVV enables you to view the license information and metrics.
3 Dell EMC Server metrics Accessing Dell EMC Server metrics: Click Environment > All objects > Dell EMC OpenManage Adapter > Dell EMC server > Select Server > All Metrics. NOTE: If the Server is firmware noncompliant in OMIVV, then health metric fails for that Server Table 1.
