The System/Server Module object contains three main system
component groups: Main System Chassis/Main System, Software, and Storage. The Server
Administrator home page defaults to the System object of the
system tree view. Most administrative functions can be managed from
the System/Server Module object action window. The System/Server
Module object action window has the following tabs, depending
on the user's group privileges: Licensing, Properties, Shutdown, Logs, Alert Management, and Session
Management
Licensing
Subtabs: Information | Licensing
Under the Licensing sub tab, you can:
Set preferences to use Integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller (iDRAC) to import, export, delete, or replace the digital
license of the hardware.
View details of the device used. The details include
status of the license, description of the license, entitlement ID
and date of expiry of the license.
NOTE: Server Administrator
supports the licensing feature on Dell’s 12th generation PowerEdge
system onwards. The feature is available only if the required minimum
version of iDRAC, iDRAC 1.30.30, is installed.
NOTE: The feature is available
only if the required minimum version of iDRAC is installed.
Properties
Subtabs: Health | Summary | Asset Information | Auto
Recovery
Under the Properties tab, you
can:
View the current health alert status for hardware
and software components in the Main System Chassis/Main System object and the Storage object.
View detailed summary information for all components
in the system being monitored.
View and configure asset information for the system
being monitored.
View and set the Automatic System Recovery (operating
system watchdog timer) actions for the system being monitored.
NOTE: Automatic System Recovery
options may not be available if the operating system watchdog timer
is enabled in BIOS. To configure the auto recovery options, the operating
system watchdog timer must be disabled.
NOTE: Automatic System Recovery
actions may not run exactly per the time-out period (n seconds) when
the watchdog identifies a system that has stopped responding. The
action execution-time ranges from n-h+1 to n+1 seconds, where n is
the time-out period and h is the heart beat interval. The value of
the heart beat interval is 7 seconds when n ≤ 30 and 15 seconds when
n > 30.
NOTE: The functionality of the watchdog timer feature cannot be guaranteed
when an uncorrectable memory event occurs in the system DRAM Bank_1.
If an uncorrectable memory event occurs in this location, the BIOS
code resident in this space may become corrupted. Because the watchdog
feature uses a call to BIOS to affect the shutdown or reboot behavior,
the feature may not work properly. If this occurs, you must manually restart the
system. The watchdog timer can be set to a maximum of 720 seconds.
