Viewing host summary information

You can view the host summary details for an individual host on the Summary page, where various portlets are displayed. Two of the portlets are applicable for OMIVV. The two portlets are:
  • OMIVV Host Health
  • OMIVV Host Information

You can drag and drop the two portlets to the position you want and can format and customize the two portlets like other portlets as per your requirement. To view the host summary details:

  1. On the OMIVV home page, expand Menu, and then select Hosts and Clusters.
  2. In the left pane, select the specific host.
  3. In the right-pane, Click Summary.
  4. Scroll down to view the OMIVV Server Management portlet.
    You can view the following information in the OMIVV Host Information and OMIVV Host Health section:
    Table 1. OMIVV Host InformationThe following table provides details such as Service Tag, Model Name, System Lockdown Mode (ON or OFF), Server Identification, Hypervisor and Firmware, and Management Console information of each host:
    Information Description
    Service Tag Displays the Service Tag of the server. Use this ID when you call for support.
    Model Name Displays the model name of the server.
    Fault Resilient Memory Displays the status of a BIOS attribute. The BIOS attribute is enabled in the BIOS during initial setup of the server and displays the memory operational mode of the server. Restart your system when you change the memory operational mode value. This is applicable for PowerEdge servers that support Fault Resilient Memory (FRM) option, running ESXi 5.5 or later version. The four different values of BIOS attribute are:
    • Enabled and Protected: This value indicates that the system is supported and the operating system version is ESXi 5.5 or later and the memory operational mode in BIOS is set to FRM.
    • NUMA Enabled and Protected: This value indicates that the system is supported and the operating system version is ESXi 5.5 or later and the memory operational mode in BIOS is set to NUMA.
    • Enabled and Not Protected: This value indicates that it supports the system with operating system version lesser than ESXi 5.5.
    • Disabled: This value indicates that it supports valid systems with any operating system version and the memory operational mode in BIOS is not set to FRM.
    • Blank: If memory operational mode in BIOS is not supported, the FRM attribute is not displayed.
    System Lockdown Mode Displays the status of the iDRAC Lockdown Mode for iDRAC 8 and later servers. A closed lock represents the iDRAC Lockdown Mode is turned on whereas an opened lock represents the iDRAC Lockdown Mode is turned off.

    • Hostname—Displays name of the OMIVV-managed host
    • Power State—Displays if power is ON or OFF.
    • iDRAC IP—Displays the iDRAC IP address
    • Management IP—Displays the management IP address
    • Host Credential Profile—Displays the host credential profile name for this host
    • Model—Displays the Dell EMC server model
    • Service Tag—Displays the Service tag for the server.
    • Asset Tag—Displays the Asset tag
    • Warranty Days Left—Displays the days left for the warranty
    • Last Inventory Scan—Displays the date and time of the last inventory scan

    Table 2. OMIVV host healthThe following table provides information about host health:
    Information Description
    OMIVV Host Health Component health is a graphical representation of the status of all major host server components: Server Global status, Server, Power supply, Temperature, Voltages, Processors, Batteries, Intrusion, Hardware log, Power management, Power, and Memory. The chassis health parameters are applicable for models VRTX version 1.0 and later, M1000e version 4.4 and later. For versions less than 4.3 only two health indicators are displayed, namely Healthy and Warning or Critical (Inverted triangle with an exclamatory mark in orange color). The overall health indicates the health that is based on the chassis with the least health parameter. The options include:
    • Healthy (green check mark)—component operating normally
    • Warning (yellow triangle with exclamation point)—component has a noncritical error.
    • Critical (red X)—component has a critical failure.
    • Unknown (question mark)—status is unknown for the component.
    For example, if there are five healthy signs and one warning sign, the overall health is shown as warning.
    NOTE Power monitoring information is not available for hosts with cabled PSU or for modular servers.
