Comprehensive Embedded Management

Comprehensive Embedded Management (CEM) is a storage management solution for Dell systems that enables you to monitor the RAID and network controllers that are installed on the system using iDRAC without an operating system that is installed on the system.

Using CEM enables you to do the following:

  • Monitor devices with and without an operating system that is installed on the server.
  • Provide a specific location to access monitored data of the storage devices and network cards.
  • Allows controller configuration for all PERC 12 controllers.
NOTE:If you boot the system to HII (F2) or Lifecycle Controller (F10), then you cannot view the PERC cards on the CEM UI. The PERC cards are displayed on the CEM UI only after the system boot is complete.
NOTE:It is not recommended that you create more than eight VDs simultaneously using CEM.
NOTE:The new features that are provided in a PERC12 controller version 8.11.0.0.18-22 can be used only if you have iDRAC 7.10.50.00 for 16G PowerEdge servers and 1.20.25.00 for 17G and later PowerEdge servers.
