Dell Power Edge servers MIBs

You can download Dell Power Edge servers MIBs from there Open Manager CD or latest from there website.

I download to work with SCOM 2007 to monitor all my Dell server and below is its config.

This section provides information on open issues with the Dell Management Pack 3.0 for Operations Manager 2007.

- Operations Manager Health Service may stop due to certain Monitor thresholds. The Workaround for this issue is to modify the following threshold settings for the Monitors:

1. Go to the Authoring pane

2. Select Authoring-> Management Pack Objects-> Monitors

3. Select Target as "Agent"

4. Select Entity Health-> Performance-> Health Service Performance
a) Right-click "Health Service Handle Count Threshold"
b) Select Overrides-> Override the Monitor-> For a Group
c) Choose "Management Server Computer Group"
d) Override the following parameters * "Agent Performance Monitor Type - Threshold" - "Override Setting" value from 2000 to 10000 * Enabled - "Override Setting" value to "true"
e) Apply the settings.

5. Select Entity Health-> Performance-> Health Service Performance
a) Right click "Health Service Private Bytes Threshold"
b) Select Overrides-> Override the Monitor-> For a Group
c) Choose "Management Server Computer Group"
d) Override the following parameters * "Agent Performance Monitor Type - Threshold" - "Override Setting" value from 104857600 to 1610612736 * Enabled - "Override Setting" value to "true"
e) Apply the settings.

- The IPMI Power control and LED Identification tasks shipped with the Dell Management Pack v 3.0 require BMU 2.0 or later to be installed on the Operations Manager Management Server and have default BMC credentials, which cannot be modified.

If your systems have different BMC credentials, you need install BMU 2.0 or later on the Operator Console system and create new console tasks in Authoring pane targeted on "BMC for Dell Server".

Select "Create new task" -> "Console Tasks - CommandLine" and set the following command line parameters:"Application:" Input the path of application "ipmish.exe"
(For example, c:\Program Files\Dell\SysMgt\bmc\ipmish.exe)"

Parameters:
" for example: -ip $Target/Property[Type="Dell.Connections00130025!Dell.Connections.ServerBMC"]/BMCIPAddress$ -u %BMCUserName% -p %BMCPassword% -k %BMCKGKey% %IPMITaskString%

The above BMCIPAddress string can be populated by selecting the drop-down button indicating "BMC IP Address."

Update the BMC credentials - %BMCUserName%, %BMCPassword%, %BMCKGKey%%IPMITaskString%
- "power status" for CheckPowerStatus Task
- "power on" for PowerOn Task
- "power off" for PowerOffGrace Task
- "power off -force" for PowerOffForce Task
- "power cycle" for PowerCycle Task- "power reset" for PowerReset Task
- "identify on" for LEDOn Task- "identify off" for LEDOff Task
- Operations Manager cannot discover DRAC on Dell PowerEdge(TM) xx55 systems with modular chassis.
