Owner's Manual

Dell DRAC And Chassis Traps (Manual Ack)

This policy does not have the trap-correlation feature enabled and you can auto-deploy this policy when you are

installing the Dell SPI. For every trap received from the Dell Remote Access Controller (RAC), Modular Chassis (DRAC/

MC), and Chassis Management Controller (CMC), 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. 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 for

the Node under the service hierarchy.

Dell EqualLogic Traps

This policy has the trap-correlation feature enabled and you can auto-deploy this policy when you are installing the Dell

SPI. For every trap received from the Dell EqualLogic device, it processes the traps in the following way:

1. Sends a message to the active message browser of the node on the HPOM console.

2. For all Normal traps, the policy auto-acknowledges the messages and moves them from the active message

browser to the acknowledged message browser.

3. For all Critical and Warning traps, the policy auto-acknowledges the trap once it receives a trap with the

information that the issue for the critical or warning trap is resolved. It retains the critical and warning messages in

the active message browser.

– For more information on the trap correlation, see the Dell SPI Trap Correlation Guide available on the Dell

Support website at dell.com/support/manuals.

NOTE: If there is any message corresponding to an SNMP trap present in an active message browser

for a particular Dell EqualLogic device, and the SNMP interceptor policy receives the same trap

again, then it is counted as a duplicate trap, if message suppression is enabled.

4. The policy also retrieves the global system status of the node and sends a message to the active message browser

of the node. You can also view the current global system status in the Global System Status for the node under the

service hierarchy.

NOTE: If a node is not DNS resolvable, the Dell SPI may not update the global health status for that node.

Dell EqualLogic Traps (Manual Ack)

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 EqualLogic device, 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.
