22 Using Dell Smart Plug-in (SPI)
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:
1
Sends a message to the active message browser of the node on the HPOM
console.
2 Retains all the Normal , Critical , and Warning traps in the active message
browser of the node. You must manually acknowledge the traps.
The policy does not correlate the traps from the node and does not
perform auto-acknowledgement of the traps.
3 Reflects the severity of the message in the SNMP Traps service in the
Services tree.
4 Retrieves the global system status of the node and sends a message with
the global system status to the active message browser of the node. You can
also view the current global system 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:
• Normal — An event that describes the successful operation of a unit, such
as a power supply turning on, or a sensor reading returning to normal
•
Warning — An event that is not necessarily significant, but may indicate a
possible future problem, such as crossing a warning threshold
•
Critical — A significant event that indicates actual or imminent loss of
data or loss of function, such as crossing a failure threshold or a hardware
failure
