34 Using Dell Smart Plug-in (SPI)
Monitoring the Health of Dell Devices
The global status update policy Dell_Sched_Status_Update is a scheduled
policy that updates the global status of the Dell systems periodically. The
default schedule for this policy is every one hour.
The global status update policy polls each Dell system grouped under the
Dell Managed Systems node group to get the global system status and sends
corresponding severity messages to the active message browser of the HPOM
console.
The global health is the overall health of the system. However, the health of
the individual components of the system may differ. To view the health of the
individual components for Windows or Linux systems, launch the Server
Administrator tool. To view the health of individual components for ESXi
systems, launch the DWS tool to access Server Administrator.
The policy also updates the status of the systems under the Dell Server
Global Health component in the Service Map view.
NOTE: Until the Dell_Autogroup_Servers policy runs for the first time, and the Dell
systems are grouped under the Dell Managed Systems group, the global health
status of the systems is not displayed on the HPOM console.
Launching Dell OpenManage Server

You can launch the Server Administrator web console to get more information
about the Dell system you are monitoring. After you install the Dell SPI, you
can see the Dell OpenManage folder under Tools on the HPOM console.
For Windows or Linux systems you can launch
Server Administrator web
console directly from Tools, Node Group, Service Map, or Alerts Messages.
For ESXi systems, you can launch the DWS console from Tools, Node
Group, Service Map, or Alert Messages. For more information, see
