Chassis Monitoring Requirements
• To monitor the health of Chassis devices, associate the community string Run As account with the
SNMP Monitoring Account with the target as Dell Modular Chassis class or respective Chassis object
(if you have different Run As accounts for different Chassis devices).
• Enable RACADM on CMC devices, and CMC module on Dell PowerEdge VRTX devices for slot
discovery and correlation to work. For more information, see RACADM Command Line Reference
Guide for iDRAC7 and CMC available at dell.com/support/manuals.
• To discover Chassis Slots and Chassis Slot Summary for CMC, create Run As Accounts and associate
it to the profiles — Dell CMC Login Account Run As Profiles. Also, enable the CMC Slot Discovery
from the OpsMgr console. For more information, see Configuring Dell Chassis Management
Controller Feature For Correlating Server Modules With Chassis Slot Summary.
• To discover Chassis Slots and Chassis Slot Summary for DRAC/MC, create Run As Accounts and
associate it to the profiles — DRAC/MC Login Account Run As Profiles. Also, enable the DRAC/MC
Slot Discovery from the OpsMgr console. For more information, see Configuring Dell Chassis

• To perform Chassis Detailed monitoring, create Run As Accounts with WS-Man credentials needed
for accessing the Dell CMCs and associate it to the profiles — Dell CMC Login Account Run As
Profiles.
NOTE: On systems using Server Administrator 7.2 DRAC tools, it is recommended to upgrade to
Server Administrator 7.4 DRAC tools for the modular server slot correlation, and slot-discovery
features to function properly.
Configuring Dell Chassis Management Controller Feature For Correlating Server Modules
With Chassis Slot Summary
To configure CMC feature for correlating server modules, create Run As Accounts and associate it to Run
As Profiles to populate chassis slot summary.
1. Create a Run As Account of type Simple Authentication that has privileges to connect to the CMC
module on CMC, DRAC/MC, or both. Also, use Basic or Digest Run As Account types for configuring
the user credentials.
2. Select the More Secure or Less Secure option in Run As Account configuration, so that you can
selectively distribute the configuration to specific management servers.
For information on creating a Run As Account of type Simple Authentication, see the “Creating A
Simple Authentication Run As Account” section of the Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version
5.2.0 For Microsoft System Center Operations Manager User's Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.
NOTE: Add the Server Management Action account to the OpsMgr administrator group.
