16. Click Scan for Devices to search Dell servers on the network.
The IP addresses are listed under Available Devices.
17. Click Add to add the list of IP addresses you want to monitor and click OK.
18. On the Specify the devices you want to monitor screen, click Create.
19. Click Close.
The scanned Dell servers initially appear in Monitoring → WS-Management and SMASH Monitoring
→ WS-Management Device State screen. After the OpsMgr completes the automatically triggered
SMASH discovery, the Dell servers appear in Monitoring → WS-Management and SMASH
Monitoring
→ SMASH Device State screen.
20. Enable the Agent-free monitoring feature through Feature Management Dashboard.
Automatic trap destination configuration
To receive SNMP traps, the Agent-free Monitoring Feature automatically configures the IP address of the
management server as a trap destination on the iDRAC during the discovery of Dell servers. Make sure
that you have selected the State option to enable the alert destination on iDRAC.
Discoveries by the Dell Agent-free Monitoring Feature
Table 12. Dell Agent-free Monitoring Feature Discoveries
Discovery Object Description
Dell Server Discovery Classifies the Dell servers and populates the key
attributes and components.
Dell Device Helper Discovery Discovers the DellDeviceHelper as an object.
Dell Host NIC Correlation Discovery
Correlates the Host NIC interfaces with Physical
interfaces.
NOTE: Teamed network interfaces will show
only one of the NICs in the team.
Monitoring
After you install the Dell Server Management Pack Suite, you can use the Monitoring pane of the OpsMgr
to select views that provide health information of the discovered Dell servers. The Agent-free monitoring
feature discovers and monitors the health of the Dell servers.
The Severity Level Indicators indicates the health of the Dell servers on the network. It includes
monitoring health of Dell modular, monolithic systems and supported Dell Precision Racks and their
components at regular intervals.
As the system components monitored through Agent-based monitoring feature and Agent-free
monitoring feature are not exactly the same, it is possible that the overall server health that is shown
through Agent-based (OMSA) and Agent-free (iDRAC) methods could be different. Drill-down to the
specific component status when you observe such discrepancies to resolve specific problem conditions
in the system component to bring the overall health of the server to OK state.
