Automatic refresh of MX7000 chassis on insertion and removal sleds

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

When a standalone or a lead MX7000 chassis is discovered or onboarded by using OpenManage Enterprise (versions 3.4 and later), an alert policy is created simultaneously on the the MX7000 chassis. For more information on discovering and onboarding devices in OpenManage Enterprise, see Create a device discovery job and Onboarding devices.

The automatically-created alert policy on the MX7000 OpenManage Enterprise-Modular appliance triggers a chassis inventory refresh job, named Refresh Inventory of Chassis in OpenManage Enterprise every time a sled is inserted, removed, or replaced 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 page.

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.
  • MX7000 chassis should be onboarded with the options 'Enable trap reception from discovered iDRAC servers and MX7000 chassis' and 'Set Community String for trap destination from Application Settings'.
  • 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 will fail.
NOTE
  • The alert policy on MX7000 is only specific to the sleds and are not applicable to the other components of the chassis, such as the IOMs.
  • MX7000 alert preferences can be set in OpenManage Enterprise to either receive all the alerts or only the chassis-category alerts from the MX7000 chassis. For more information, see Manage Console preferences.
  • Some delay is to be expected between the actual action on the sleds and the triggering of the chassis inventory refreshing on OpenManage Enterprise.
  • The automatically created alert policy is deleted if the MX7000 chassis is deleted from the device inventory of OpenManage Enterprise.
  • The All Devices page will list the Managed State for a successfully onboarded MX7000 chassis with automatic alert forwarding policy as 'Managed with Alerts'. For more information on onboarding, refer Onboarding devices
