Storage Controller Component Hierarchy
Expand the Storage component in any Dell system instance diagram view, to view the status and health of components such as physical disks, connectors, virtual disks, controllers, sensors, and enclosures.
Network Interfaces Component Hierarchy
The Network Interfaces group is created only when an Intel or Broadcom network interface card is present and enabled on the Dell Server (In-band). Network interfaces are grouped under Physical
18
Interfaces and Teamed Interfaces. If you disable a network interface, the network interfaces group will be removed from management in the next discovery cycle.
A reference relationship is created between a Teamed network interface and its associated Physical network interfaces. You can view the reference relationship only when you enable the Enable Correlation attribute of Dell Windows Server Physical and Teamed Relationship Discovery. For more information, see Enabling Correlation.
Enabling Correlation
To enable the Enable Correlation attribute:
1. Launch the OpsMgr console.
2. From the navigation pane, click Authoring.
3. In the Authoring tab, click Management Pack Objects → Object Discoveries.
4. Click Scope at the top of the screen.
The Scope Management Pack Objects screen is displayed.
5. Search for Dell Windows Server Physical and Teamed Relationship Discovery Rule
in the Look for: field.
6. Right-click Dell Windows Server Physical and Teamed Relationship Discovery Rule → Overrides →
Override the Object Discovery → For all objects of class: Teamed Network Interface instance (Enriched).
The Override Properties page is displayed.
7. Select Enable Correlation and set the Override Value to True and click OK.
The status roll-up of network interfaces on the diagram view is displayed only up to the Network Interfaces group level. For example, if the remaining components of the Dell server are normal and only
one or more of the network interfaces are critical or noncritical, then the normal icon is displayed by the Dell system, and the critical or warning icon is displayed by the Network Interfaces group.
Figure 2. Network Interfaces Diagram View
Enabling Network Interfaces Group To Dell Server Health Roll Up
For the status roll-up to be displayed at the server level, you must enable the Network Interfaces Group to Dell Server Health Roll up dependency monitor.
19
To enable the monitor:
1. Launch the OpsMgr console.
2. From the navigation pane, click Authoring.
3. Click Monitors on the left pane and select the Network Interfaces Group monitor.
4. Click Entity Health → Availability.
5. Right-click Network Interfaces Group to Dell Server Health Roll up and select Overrides → Enable
the Monitor from the menu options.
State Views
This view is available for viewing the health of all Dell servers. In the OpsMgr console, click Dell → State Views, the status of each Dell server managed by the OpsMgr on your network is displayed.
You can view the status for the Managed servers (In-Band) group.
The health of a component is derived by reviewing the unresolved alerts associated with the component.
Performance And Power Monitoring Views
To view the performance and power monitoring on the OpsMgr console:
1. Launch the OpsMgr console and click Monitoring.
2. In the Monitoring pane, click Dell → Performance and Power Monitoring for the following views:
• Ambient Temperature (Centigrade)
• Amperage (Amps)
• Dell Performance View
• Energy Consumption (kWh)
• Peak Amperage (Amps)
• Peak Power (Watts)
• Physical Network Interface
• Power Consumption (Watts)
• Power Consumption (BTU/hr)
• Teamed Network Interface
NOTE: Power monitoring is applicable only for Dell servers with power monitoring capability for a particular attribute. It is enabled only when the detailed edition of Server In-band monitoring feature is present.
NOTE: Teamed and Physical network interface instances are disabled by default and will appear only when the detailed edition of the Server In-band monitoring feature is installed and imported.
3. Select the counters from the individual performance views and select the time range for which the
values are required. The data collected is represented in a graphical format for each system.
A unit monitor, monitors the performance counter over two successive cycles to check if it exceeds a threshold value. When the threshold value is exceeded, the server changes state and generates an alert. This unit monitor is disabled by default. You can override (enable and modify) the threshold values from the Authoring pane of the OpsMgr console. Unit monitor is available under Monitors for Dell Windows Server objects for Server In-band monitoring feature.
20
For more information on performance information collection, see Performance Collection Rules.

Unit Monitors

Unit monitors assess the various conditions that can occur in monitored objects. The result of this assessment determines the health state of a target.
The unit monitors are:
• Event Monitor — triggered by the event that the Dell instrumentation logs in the Windows event log, indicating the health of the corresponding object.
• Periodic Monitor — triggered by a periodic poll configured as Interval Seconds.
The following tables illustrates the various Dell monitors and the applicable parameters.
