OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Version 4.0 Web Client User's Guide

Configuring events and alarms

About this task

The Dell Management Center events and alarms dialog box enables or disables all hardware alarms. The current alert status is displayed on the vCenter alarms tab. A critical event indicates actual or imminent data loss or system malfunction. A warning event is not necessarily significant, but can indicate a possible future problem. The events and alarms can also be enabled by using the VMware Alarm Manager. The events are displayed on the vCenter tasks and events tab in the hosts and clusters view. To receive the events from the servers, OMIVV is configured as the SNMP trap destination. For 12th generation hosts and later, the SNMP trap destination is set in iDRAC. For hosts earlier than 12th generation, trap destination is set in OMSA. You can configure events and alarms using the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter from the Management > Settings tab. Under vCenter Settings, expand the Events and Alarms heading to display the vCenter alarms for Dell Hosts (Enabled or Disabled), and the event posting level.
NOTE: OMIVV supports SNMP v1 and v2 alerts for 12th generation hosts and later. For hosts earlier than 12th generation, OMIVV supports SNMP v1 alerts.
NOTE: To receive the Dell events, enable both alarms and events.

Steps

  1. In the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, on the Manage > Settings tab, under vCenter settings, expand Events and Alarms.
    The current vCenter Alarms for Dell Hosts (Enabled or Disabled) or all vCenter alarms, and Event Posting Level are displayed.
  2. Click the Edit icon at the right side of Events and Alarms.
  3. To enable all hardware alarms and events, select Enable Alarms for all Dell Hosts.
    NOTE: The Dell hosts that have alarms enabled respond to critical events by entering into maintenance mode and you can modify the alarm, as needed.
  4. To restore the default vCenter alarm settings for all managed Dell servers, click Restore Default Alarms.
    This step can take up to a minute before the change takes effect and is available only if Enable Alarms For Dell Hosts is selected.
  5. In Event Posting Level, select either “Do not post any events”, “Post All Events”, “Post only Critical and Warning Events”, or “Post only Virtualization-Related Critical and Warning Events”. For more information, see Events, alarms, and health monitoring.
  6. If you want to apply these settings to all vCenters, select Apply these settings to all vCenters.
    NOTE: Selecting the option overrides the existing settings for all vCenters.
    NOTE: The option is not available, if you have already selected All Registered vCenters from the drop-down list on the Settings tab.
  7. To save, click Apply.
