Setup Guide

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).
● For slot discovery and correlation to work; enable Remote Access Controller Admin (RACADM) on CMC devices, and CMC
module on Dell PowerEdge VRTX devices. For more information, see RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC7
and CMC available at dell.com/support/home.
● 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 perform Chassis Detailed monitoring; create Run As Accounts with WS-Man credentials required for accessing the Dell
CMCs, and associate it to the profiles — Dell CMC Login Account Run As Profiles.
NOTE: For the modular server slot correlation, and slot-discovery features to function properly; upgrade systems using
Server Administrator 7.2 DRAC tools to Server Administrator 7.4 DRAC tools.
Configuring Dell Chassis Management Controller feature for Correlating
Server Modules with Chassis Slot Summary
About this task
To configure CMC feature for correlating server modules, create Run As Accounts and associate it to Run As Profiles to
populate chassis slot summary.
Steps
1. Create a Run As Account of type Simple Authentication that has privileges to connect to the CMC module on the chassis.
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 Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.1.1 for Microsoft System Center Operations
Manager User's Guide at dell.com/OMConnectionsEnterpriseSystemsManagement.
NOTE: Add the Server Management Action account to the OpsMgr administrator group.
3. Associate the created Run As Accounts with the Dell CMC Login Account profile and select the appropriate class, group,
or object on which you can configure the profile.
● To enable slot summary discovery for CMC, override the enable property to True in Dell CMC Slot Discovery. It is
disabled by default.
NOTE:
After the slot discovery, if you remove the link between Run As Account with Run As Profile, or disable the
slot-discovery workflow, the discovered slots remain with old data.
Feature Management tasks
The following table lists the Chassis monitoring tasks available on the Feature Management Dashboard. Some tasks listed in
the Feature Management tasks table appear only after you have imported the Chassis monitoring feature.
NOTE:
In the Event log, ignore the errors pertaining to reimporting of existing management packs under the error logs.
These errors occur when Feature Management Dashboard reimports all the dependent management packs that are
already imported while importing a monitoring feature.
NOTE: Wait for a task to complete (view the state update change in the dashboard) before launching another task using
the Feature Management Dashboard.
