Introduction Executive summary Dell EMC utilizes the latest technology to enhance systems management, from creating a fully modular chassis management ecosystem such as the PowerEdge MX7000 to inventing the state-of-the-art, shortrange wireless management interface that powers Quick Sync technology.
Introduction 1 Introduction Augmented Reality Monitoring is a new feature in OpenManage Mobile 3.2 that creates an augmented reality environment in the data center, highlighting the key components in the MX7000 chassis. By standing in front of a chassis and simply pointing the camera at it, the data center administrator can view the most important details of the chassis and get quick response information for any faults in the system.
Augmented reality technology 2 Augmented reality technology Augmented Reality Monitoring leverages the latest advancements in augmented reality to create its data center environment. It uses Quick Sync 2 to quickly and securely retrieve information about its environment to enhance the camera feed with overlays that show the most relevant details. This section describes some of the details regarding each technology and how to best utilize them. 2.
Augmented reality technology Augmented Reality Monitoring attempts to visually identify the shape and patterns of the front of the chassis from the camera feed. In addition to the general augmented reality guidelines, there are a few additional considerations to ensure an accurate detection: • • • • The chassis should not be obstructed by loose or hanging wires. The camera should be pointed toward the chassis with which the user intends to work.
Getting started 3 Getting started Augmented Reality Monitoring works most effectively when used as a tool to quickly investigate a problem with a chassis. This section describes some recommendations to setup an environment to use Augmented Reality Monitoring in this manner. 3.1 Download OpenManage Mobile OpenManage Mobile is available as a free download through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Search for OpenManage Mobile or use these links: • • 3.2 https://play.google.
Getting started Ensure that Quick Sync 2 is activated on the chassis before starting the Augmented Reality Monitoring feature. This gives Augmented Reality Monitoring a brief time to load data in the background while the rest of the manual steps are finished. To launch Augmented Reality Monitoring: 1. Launch the OpenManage Mobile application on the mobile device. 2. Open the navigation menu and select Augmented Reality.
