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, and PCIe extenders
● Enclosures that include Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs), power supply, fan probe, and temperature probe
● Physical disks
● Virtual disks
● Batteries
However, RACADM and WSMAN display information for most of the storage devices in the system.
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:
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.
Monitoring storage devices using web interface
To view the storage device information using Web interface:
● Go to Overview > Storage > Summary to view the summary of the storage components and the recently logged events.
This page is automatically refreshed every 30 seconds.
● Go to Overview > Storage > Topology to view the hierarchical physical containment view of the key storage components.
● Go to Overview > Storage > Physical Disks > Properties to view physical disk information. The Physical Disks
Properties page is displayed.
● Go to Overview > Storage > Virtual Disks > Properties to view virtual disks information. The Virtual Disks Properties
page is displayed.
● Go to Overview > Storage > Controllers > Properties to view the RAID controller information. The Controllers
Properties page is displayed.
● Go to Overview > Storage > Enclosures > Properties to view the enclosure information. The Enclosures Properties
page is displayed.
You can also use filters to view specific device information.
For more information on the displayed properties and to use the filter options, see iDRAC Online Help.
Monitoring storage devices using RACADM
To view the storage device information, use the storage command.
