Discovery Object Description

Dell Feature Management Host Discovery

Populates the dashboard if the management server is the

feature management pack host. The management server on

which the Dell Server Management Pack Suite is installed first,

Tasks

Tasks are available in the Tasks pane of the OpsMgr console. When you select a device or a component, the relevant tasks appear

in the Tasks pane.

Feature Management Tasks

The following table lists the tasks available on the Feature Management Dashboard. Some tasks listed in the Feature Management

Tasks table appear only after you have imported a particular monitoring feature.

NOTE:

• In the Event log, ignore the errors pertaining to reimporting of existing management packs. These errors occur when

Feature Management Dashboard reimports all the dependent management packs that were already imported while

importing a monitoring feature.

• Wait for a task to complete (view the state update change in the dashboard) before launching another task using the

Feature Management Dashboard.

• The Refresh dashboard task may not update the dashboard immediately; it might take a few minutes to update the

dashboard contents.
