Storage Controller Component Hierarchy
Expand the Storage component in any Dell system instance diagram view, to view the status and health
of components such as physical disks, connectors, virtual disks, controllers, sensors, and enclosures.
State Views
This view is available for viewing the health of all Dell servers and supported Rack Workstations. In the
OpsMgr console, click Dell → State Views, the status of each Dell server and Rack Workstation managed
by OpsMgr on the network is displayed.
You can view the status for the following groups:
• Servers and Rack Workstations (Agent-free)
• Dell Rack Workstation State Views
– Managed Rack Workstation (Agent-free)
• Dell Server State Views
– Unmanaged servers (Agent-free)
The health of a component is derived by reviewing the unresolved alerts associated with the component.
Severity Level Indicators explains the various state components that the Server Management Pack Suite
uses with their corresponding severity levels.
Performance and Power Monitoring Views
To view the performance and power monitoring on the OpsMgr console:
1. Launch the OpsMgr console and click Monitoring.
2. In the Monitoring pane, click Dell → Performance and Power Monitoring for the following views:
• Agent-free Disk Performance (%)
• Dell Performance View
• System Board Usage
– CPU Usage (%)
– IO Usage (%)
– Memory Usage (%)
– Overall System Usage (%)
NOTE: All performance metric rules are disabled by default for Agent-free monitoring feature.
3. Select the counters from the individual performance views and select the time range for which the
values are required.
The data collected is represented in a graphical format for each system.
A unit monitor, monitors the performance counter over two successive cycles to check if it exceeds a
threshold value. When the threshold value is exceeded, the server changes state and generates an alert.
This unit monitor is disabled by default. You can override (enable and modify) the threshold values from
the Authoring pane of the OpsMgr console. Unit monitor is available under Monitors for Dell Server
objects for Agent-free monitoring feature.
