Automatic alerts on the MX7000 chassis

When a sled is inserted or taken off from an MX7000 chassis, OpenManage Enterprise instantly alerts and indicates it on its dashboard.

OpenManage Enterprise can almost instantly reflect the addition or removal of sleds after a stand-alone or a lead MX7000 chassis is discovered or onboarded.

When a stand-alone or a lead MX7000 chassis is discovered or onboarded, an alert policy is created on the MX7000 chassis. For more information about discovering and onboarding devices in OpenManage Enterprise, see Create a device discovery job and Onboarding devices.

The MX7000 auto-alert policy on OpenManage Enterprise-Modular initiates a chassis inventory refresh, labeled Refresh Inventory of Chassis whenever a sled is changed in the MX7000 chassis.

Post completion of the chassis- inventory-refresh job, the sled-related changes to the MX7000 are displayed on the All Devices screen.

The following prerequisites must be met while onboarding the MX7000 chassis for a successful creation of the automatic alert policy :

• OpenManage Enterprise-Modular version 1.2 must be already installed in the MX7000.
• Use the Application Settings to onboard the MX7000 chassis with the following options:
  • Enable trap reception from discovered iDRAC servers and MX7000 chassis.
  • Set Community String for trap destination.
• The OpenManage Enterprise appliance IP should get successfully registered as one of the four available alert destinations in the newly onboarded MX7000. If all the alert destinations in the MX7000 are already configured at the time of onboarding, then the automatic alert policy creation fails.
