Dell Enterprise Switch

Scheduled Status Poll

This policy periodically polls the Dell Enterprise Switches such as the Dell M-Series, S-Series, and

Z-Series Switches grouped under Dell Managed Systems and provides the global system health

status information to the HPOM console.

To view the health of the individual components for:

• Dell M-Series, S-Series, or Z-Series switches, launch the Dell OpenManage Network

Manager Console or the Dell Switch Telnet tool. For more information, see Launching Dell

Consoles.

NOTE: The global health status of the Dell devices is not displayed on the HPOM console until the Dell Hardware

Autogroup Policy runs for the first time, and the Dell devices are grouped under the Dell Managed Systems and the Dell

Hardware group. The policies then update the health status of the devices under the corresponding Dell Device’s Global

System Status under the Services and the Nodes tree.

NOTE: The health status of Dell devices is represented as Critical when their actual health status is Unknown.

Monitoring Dell Connections License Manager

You can monitor the Dell Connections License Manager by using the Dell Connections License Manager Scheduled Status Poll policy

which is scheduled to run every 3 hours. This policy monitors the Dell Connections License Manager (DCLM) health, license

availability, verifies the DCLM configuration parameters and sends corresponding severity messages to the active message browser

of the HPOM console.

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.

You can disable this policy if you are not monitoring iDRAC7 or iDRAC8 devices.

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 Agent-free Server Traps

• Dell DRAC and Chassis Traps

• Dell Compellent Storage Array Traps

• Dell EqualLogic Traps
