Inventorying and monitoring storage devices
You can remotely monitor the health and view the inventory of the following Comprehensive Embedded Management (CEM)
enabled storage devices in the managed system using iDRAC web interface:
● RAID controllers, non-RAID controllers, BOSS controllers and PCIe extenders
● Enclosures that include Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs), power supply, fan probe, and temperature probe
●
Physical disks
● Virtual disks
● Batteries
The recent storage events and topology of storage devices are also displayed.
Alerts and SNMP traps are generated for storage events. The events are logged in the Lifecycle Log.
NOTE:
For an accurate inventory of BOSS controllers, ensure that Collect System Inventory On Reboot Operation (CSIOR)
is completed. CSIOR is enabled by default.
NOTE: If you enumerate the enclosure view's WSMan command on a system while one PSU-cable is removed, the primary
status of the enclosure view is reported as Healthy instead of Warning.
NOTE: The storage health rollup follows the same convention of Dell EMC OpenManage product. For more information see
the OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide available at https://www.dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
NOTE: Physical disks in system with multiple backplanes may be listed under a different backplane. Use the blink function
to identify the disks.
