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 memory module returns a warning or
failure value.
• View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels
for memory modules. The selected traps are triggered if the system
generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
Network
Click the Network object to manage your system's NICs. Server Administrator
monitors the status of each NIC present in your system to ensure continuous
remote connection. Dell OpenManage Server Administrator reports NIC
teaming details if it's already configured on the system. Two or more physical
NICs can be teamed into a single logical NIC, to which an administrator can
assign an IP address. Teaming can be configured using NIC vendor tools. For
example, Broadcom - BACS. If one of the physical NICs fails, the IP address
remains accessible because it is bound to the logical NIC rather than to a
single physical NIC. If Team Interface is configured, the detailed team
properties are displayed. The relation between physical NICs and Team
Interface and vice-versa is also reported, if these physical NICs are members
of the Team Interface. The Network object action window can have the
following tab, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties.
Properties
Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view information about the physical NIC
interfaces and also the team interfaces installed on your system.
NOTE: In the IPv6 Addresses section, Server Administrator displays only two
addresses, in addition to the link-local address.
