To view the status of the number of licenses available, launch the Dell Connections License Manager

Console Launch Tool. For more information, see Launching Dell Consoles.

NOTE: The global health status of the Dell Connections License Manager is not displayed on the

HPOM console until the Dell Hardware Autogroup Policy runs for the first time, and the Dell devices

are classified.

Processing SNMP Traps From Dell Devices

The Dell SPI uses the SNMP interceptor policies to process SNMP traps. They have predefined rules to

process all the SNMP traps sent by the Dell devices to the management server, generate formatted

messages, and send them to the HPOM console.

Dell SPI provides the following two categories of SNMP policies:

1. Auto aknowledged traps

• Dell Server Traps

• Dell OOB Server Traps

• Dell DRAC and Chassis Traps

• Dell Compellent Storage Array Traps

• Dell EqualLogic Traps

• Dell 8000 | 8100 Network Switch Traps

2. Manually acknowledged traps

• Dell Server Traps (Manual Ack)

• Dell OOB Server Traps (Manual Ack)

• Dell DRAC and Chassis Traps (Manual Ack)

• Dell PowerVault MD Storage Array Traps (Manual Ack)

• Dell Compellent Storage Array Traps (Manual Ack)

• Dell EqualLogic Traps (Manual Ack)

• Dell 8000 | 8100 Network Switch Traps (Manual Ack)

• Dell Enterprise Series Switch Traps (Manual Ack)

For more information about deploying the preceding Dell SPI policies, see Deploying Smart Plug-in

Policies.

NOTE: Dell SPI version 4.0 does not support Dell Compellent SNMPv2 traps.

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.
