Configuring Redfish Eventing
The Redfish eventing protocol is used for a client service (subscriber) to register interest (subscription) with a server (event source) for
receiving messages containing the Redfish events (notifications or event messages). Clients interested in receiving the Redfish eventing
messages can subscribe with iDRAC and receive Lifecycle Controller job related events.
Monitoring chassis events
On the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s chassis, you can enable the Chassis Management and Monitoring setting in iDRAC to perform chassis
management and monitoring tasks such as monitoring chassis components, configuring alerts, using iDRAC RACADM to pass CMC
RACADM commands, and updating the chassis management firmware. This setting allows you to manage the servers in the chassis even
if the CMC is not on the network. You can set the value to Disabled to forward the chassis events. By default, this setting is set as
Enabled.
NOTE: For this setting to take effect, you must ensure that in CMC, the Chassis Management at Server setting must be
set to Monitor or Manage and Monitor.
When the Chassis Management and Monitoring option is set to Enabled, iDRAC generates and logs chassis events. The events
generated are integrated into the iDRAC event subsystem and alerts are generated similar to the rest of the events.
CMC also forwards the events generated to iDRAC. In case the iDRAC on the server is not functional, CMC queues the first 16 events and
logs the rest in the CMC log. These 16 events are sent to iDRAC as soon as Chassis monitoring is set to enabled.
In instances where iDRAC detects that a required CMC functionality is absent, a warning message is displayed informing you that certain
features may not be functional without a CMC firmware upgrade.
Monitoring chassis events using the iDRAC web interface
To monitor chassis events using the iDRAC web interface, perform the following steps:
NOTE:
This section appears only for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s chassis and if Chassis Management at Server mode is set to
Monitor or Manage and Monitor in CMC.
1. On the CMC interface, click Chassis Overview > Setup > General.
2. From the Chassis Management at Server Mode drop-down menu, select Manage and Monitor, and click Apply.
3. Launch the iDRAC web interface, click Overview > iDRAC Settings > CMC.
4. Under the Chassis Management at Server section, ensure that Capability from iDRAC drop-down box is set to Enabled.
Monitoring chassis events using RACADM
This setting is applicable only for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s servers and if Chassis Management at Server mode is set to Monitor or
Manage and Monitor in CMC.
To monitor chassis events using iDRAC RACADM:
racadm get system.chassiscontrol.chassismanagementmonitoring
For more information, see the iDRAC RACADM CLI Guide available at www.dell.com/idracmanuals.
