Server Administrator Services 79
Properties
Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view information about your system's
microprocessor(s) and access detailed capabilities and cache information.
Alert Management
Subtabs: Alert Actions | SNMP Traps
Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
• View current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to
be performed in the event that a processor returns a warning or failure value.
• View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels
for processors. The selected traps will be triggered if the system generates a
corresponding event at the selected severity level.
Remote Access
Click the Remote Access object to manage the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) or Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC)
features and Remote Access Controller features.
Selecting Remote Access tab allows you to manage the BMC/iDRAC features
such as, general information on the BMC/iDRAC. You can also manage the
configuration of the BMC/iDRAC on a local area network (LAN), serial port
for the BMC/iDRAC, terminal mode settings for the serial port, BMC/iDRAC
on a serial over LAN connection, and BMC/iDRAC users.
NOTE: BMC is supported in Dell PowerEdge x8xx and x9xx systems and iDRAC is
supported in Dell xx0x and xx1x systems only.
NOTE: If an application other than Server Administrator is used to configure the
BMC/iDRAC while Server Administrator is running, the BMC/iDRAC configuration
data displayed by Server Administrator may become asynchronous with the
BMC/iDRAC. It is recommended that Server Administrator be used to configure the
BMC/iDRAC while Server Administrator is running.
DRAC allows you to access your system's remote system management
capabilities. The Server Administrator DRAC provides remote access to
inoperable systems, alert notification when a system is down, and the ability
to restart a system.
The Remote Access object action window can have the following tabs,
depending on the user's group privileges: Properties, Configuration, and Users.
