Figure 1. Dell Server Instance Diagram
System-specific diagrams illustrate and indicate the status of the following components:
• Physical and teamed network interfaces
• Memory
• Power supply
• Sensors
• Processors
• Dell OpenManage software services
• Storage components
• BIOS (inventory only)
The memory, processors, network, sensors, storage, and power supply components are displayed in detail by the Detailed edition of
the Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature.
Storage Controller Component Hierarchy
Expand the Storage component in any Dell system instance diagram view, to view the status and health of components such as
physical disks, connectors, virtual disks, controllers, sensors, and enclosures.
Network Interfaces Component Hierarchy
The Network Interfaces group is created only when an Intel or Broadcom network interface card is present and enabled on the Dell
Server. Network interfaces are grouped under Physical Interfaces and Teamed Interfaces. If you disable a network interface, the
network interfaces group will be removed from management in the next discovery cycle.
A reference relationship is created between a Teamed network interface and its associated Physical network interfaces. You can
view the reference relationship only when you enable the Enable Correlation attribute of Dell Windows Server Physical and
Teamed Relationship Discovery. For more information, see Enabling Correlation.
Enabling Correlation
To enable the Enable Correlation attribute:
1. Launch the OpsMgr console.
2. From the navigation pane, click Authoring.
3. In the Authoring tab, click Management Pack Objects → Object Discoveries.
4. Search for Dell Windows Server Physical and Teamed Relationship Discovery Rule in the Look for:
field.
5. Right-click Dell Windows Server Physical and Teamed Relationship Discovery Rule → Overrides → Override the Object
Discovery → For all objects of class: Teamed Network Interface instance (Enriched).
The Override Properties page is displayed.
6. Select Enable Correlation and set the Override Value to True and click OK.
The status roll-up of network interfaces on the diagram view is displayed only up to the Network Interfaces group level. For
example, if the remaining components of the Dell server are normal and only one or more of the network interfaces are critical or
noncritical, then, the Dell system displays the health state normal icon, and the Network Interfaces group displays the critical or
warning icon.
