Understanding Dell Server Management Pack Suite Operations 45
Storage Controller Component Hierarchy
Expand the Storage component in any Dell System instance diagram view,
to view the status and health of components like Physical Disks, Connectors,
and Virtual Disks. Each Connector instance contains the Sensors and
Physical Disk components. However, there are no sensors for the backplane.
Network Interfaces Component Hierarchy
The Network Interfaces group is created only when an Intel or Broadcom
network interface card is present on the Dell Windows Server and is enabled.
Network interfaces are grouped under Physical Interfaces and Teamed
Interfaces. If you disable a network interface, it is removed from management
in the next discovery cycle.
A reference relationship is created between a Teamed network interface and
its associated Physical network interfaces. You can view the reference
relationship only when you enable the Enable Correlation attribute of Dell
Windows Server Physical and Teamed Relationship Discovery.
To enable the Enable Correlation attribute:

The status roll-up of network interfaces on the Diagram view is displayed only
up to the Network Interfaces group level. For example, if the remaining
components of the Dell system are normal and only one or more of the
network interfaces are critical or noncritical, then the Dell system displays the
Normal icon, and the Network Interfaces group displays the Critical or
Warning icon.
