launch

Admin or Power user.

Clear ESM log

Admin or Power user.

Alternatively, if the MSAA has normal user

privileges, operators can, instead of selecting Use

the predefined Run as Account, enter task

credentials with Power User (or higher) privileges

to run the Clear ESM Logs task.

Managed System requirements

Install any supported Server Administrator versions (including the Server Administrator Storage

Management Service) on the managed system.

NOTE: If you want to upgrade or uninstall Server Administrator on the managed system, the Alerts

View of the managed system may display the following error: Script or Executable failed

to run. If the managed system is not a management server, then switch the system to the

Maintenance Mode until the upgrade or uninstall completes. If the managed system is the

management server, you may manually close the alerts after the upgrade or uninstall is complete.

NOTE: On systems using Server Administrator 7.2 DRAC tools, it is recommended to upgrade to

Server Administrator 7.4 DRAC tools.

NOTE: For more information on the supported operating systems for the managed system, see Dell

OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide at dell.com/support/home.

Feature Management tasks

The following table lists the Agent-based monitoring feature tasks available on the Feature Management

Dashboard. Some tasks listed in the Feature Management tasks table appear only after you have imported

the Agent-based 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.
