Configure OMEVV events and alarms

Prerequisites

  • Enable SNMP events on the iDRAC settings page for all the OMEVV-managed hosts.
  • To receive events from the servers, ensure that the SNMP trap destination is set in iDRAC. OMEVV supports SNMP v1 and v2 alerts.
  • Before enabling alarms for all hosts and MPR alarms, ensure that you enable Post all Events.
    NOTE By default, Post all Events is enabled.
  • To receive the Memory Page Retire Forecast (MPR) alarm for all hosts, ensure that the Enable Memory Page Retire Forecast alarm for all hosts option is enabled for all hosts that are managed using OMEVV.
  • To receive the alarms for all hosts, ensure Enable Alarms for all hosts option is enabled.
  • Ensure that you set the same time zone between OMEVV and vCenter. If the time zone is different, you might observe delay or advance in posting alarms.
