32 Using Dell Smart Plug-in (SPI)

The policy also retrieves the global health status of the node and sends a

message with the global health status to the active message browser of the

node. You can also view the current global health status in the

Global

System Status

service.

NOTE: If a node is not DNS resolvable, the Dell SPI may not update the global

health status for that node.

Dell_Process_SNMPTraps_AckManual Policy

This policy does not have the trap correlation feature enabled and you cannot

deploy this policy automatically when you are installing the Dell SPI. For

every trap received from the Dell systems, it processes the traps in the

following manner:

Sends a message to the active message browser of the node on the HPOM

console, which sends the trap.

Retains all the

Normal

Critical

, and

Warning

traps in the active message

browser of the node. You must manually acknowledge the traps and move

them to the acknowledged message browser of the node.

The policy does not correlate the traps from the node and does not

perform auto-acknowledgement of the traps.

Reflects the severity of the message in the

SNMP Traps

service in the

Service Map

view.

Retrieves the global health status of the node and sends a message with

the global health status to the active message browser of the node. You can

also view the current global health status in the

Global System Status

service.

NOTE: You can run either the Dell_Process_SNMPTraps or

Dell_Process_SNMPTraps_AckManual policy at a time. Both policies cannot run

together.

Understanding Dell SPI Trap Message Severity

Traps often contain information about values recorded by probes or sensors.

Probes and sensors monitor critical components for values such as amperage,

voltage, and temperature. When an event occurs on the Dell system, it sends

a trap having one of the following severities:
