The scanned Dell servers initially appear in Monitoring → WS-Management and SMASH Monitoring

→ WS-Management Device State screen. After the OpsMgr completes the automatically triggered

SMASH discovery, the Dell servers appear in Monitoring → WS-Management and SMASH

Monitoring → SMASH Device State screen.

20. Enable the Agent-free monitoring feature through Feature Management Dashboard.

Automatic trap destination configuration

To receive SNMP traps, the Agent-free Monitoring Feature automatically configures the IP address of the

management server as a trap destination on the iDRAC during the discovery of Dell servers. Make sure

that you have selected the State option to enable the alert destination on iDRAC.

Discoveries by the Dell Agent-free Monitoring Feature

Table 12. Dell Agent-free Monitoring Feature Discoveries

Discovery Object Description

Dell Server Discovery Classifies the Dell servers and populates the key

attributes and components.

Dell Device Helper Discovery Discovers the DellDeviceHelper as an object.

Dell Host NIC Correlation Discovery

Correlates the Host NIC interfaces with Physical

interfaces.

NOTE: Teamed network interfaces will show

only one of the NICs in the team.

Monitoring

After you install the Dell Server Management Pack Suite, you can use the Monitoring pane of the OpsMgr

to select views that provide health information of the discovered Dell servers. The Agent-free monitoring

feature discovers and monitors the health of the Dell servers. The Severity Level Indicators indicates the

health of the Dell servers on the network. It includes monitoring health of Dell modular, monolithic

systems and supported Dell Precision Racks and their components at regular intervals and on occurrence

of events.

As the system components monitored through Agent-based monitoring feature and Agent-free

monitoring feature are not exactly the same, it is possible that the overall server health that is shown

through Agent-based (OMSA) and Agent-free (iDRAC) methods could be different. Drill-down to the

specific component status when you observe such discrepancies to resolve specific problem conditions

in the system component to bring the overall health of the server to OK state.
