Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.1 User's Guide

The compliance level of devices in all the available baselines is indicated by a Donut chart on the Firmware page. When more than one device is associated with a baseline, the status of a device with the least compliance level to the baseline is indicated as the compliance level of that baseline. For example, if many devices are associated to a firmware baseline, and the compliance level of many devices is OK and Downgrade , but if the compliance of one device in the group is Critical , the compliance level of the baseline is indicated as Critical.

However, you can view the firmware compliance of individual devices associated with a firmware baseline to either upgrade or downgrade the firmware version on that device. To view the device firmware compliance report:

• Select the check box corresponding to the baseline and click View Report in the right pane.

  On the Compliance Report page the list of devices associated with the baseline and their compliance level is displayed.

  NOTE: If each device has its own status, the highest severity status is considered as the status of the group. For more information about Rollup Health status, see the MANAGING THE ROLLUP HEALTH STATUS BY USING IDRAC ON THE DELL EMC 14TH GENERATION AND LATER POWEREDGE SERVERS white paper on the Dell TechCenter.

• COMPLIANCE: Indicates the compliance level of a device to the baseline. For more information about symbols used for device firmware compliance levels, see Manage the device firmware.

  NOTE: When checking the firmware baseline compliance level of Dell EMC M1000e and VRTX chassis, the compliance level is indicated as 'Downgrade' even when the firmware versions are same. This is because of difference in naming convention in firmware versions between OpenManage Enterprise and FTP. It is recommended to ignore such status and not downgrade the firmware version.

• TYPE: Type of device for which the compliance report is generated.
• DEVICE NAME/COMPONENTS: By default, the Service Tag of the device is displayed.
  1. To view information about components in the device, click the > symbol.
