Click
Back to Remote Access User Window
to go back to the
Remote
Access Users
window.
NOTE: Six additional user entries are configurable when DRAC is installed.
This results in a total of 16 users. The same username and password rules
apply to BMC/iDRAC and RAC users. When DRAC/iDRAC6 is installed, all the
16 users entries are allocated to DRAC.
Setting Platform Event Filter Alerts
You can use the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service to configure
the most relevant BMC features, such as Platform Event Filter (PEF)
parameters and alert destinations. To do this:
1
Click the
System
object.
2
Click the
Alert Management
tab.
3
Click
Platform Events
.
The
Platform Events
window allows you to take individual action on
specific platform events. You can select those events for which you want to
take shutdown actions and generate alerts for selected actions. You can
also send alerts to specific IP address destinations of your choice.
NOTE: You must be logged in with Administrator privileges to configure the
BMC PEF Alerts.
NOTE: The Enable Platform Event Filters Alerts setting disables or enables
PEF alert generation. It is independent of the individual platform event alert
settings.
NOTE: System Power Probe Warning and System Power Probe Failure are
not supported on Dell systems without PMBus support although Server
Administrator allows you to configure them.
NOTE: On Dell PowerEdge 1900 systems, the PS/VRM/D2D Warning,
PS/VRM/D2D Failure, and Power Supply Absent Platform Event Filters are not
supported even though Server Administrator allows you to configure these
Event Filters.

Choose the platform event for which you want to take shutdown actions or
generate alerts for selected actions and click
Set Platform Events
.
The
Set Platform Events
window allows you to specify the actions to be
taken if the system is to be shut down in response to a platform event.
