Dell IDRAC6 User Manual

66 Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise
Using IT Assistant to View iDRAC6 Status and
Events
After discovery is complete, iDRAC6 devices appear in the Servers category of
the ITA Devices detail screen, and iDRAC6 information can be seen by
clicking on iDRAC6 name. This is different than DRAC5 systems, where the
management card shows up in the RAC group. This is due to the fact that
iDRAC6 uses IPMI discovery as opposed to SNMP.
iDRAC6 error and warning traps can now be seen in the primary Alert Log of
IT Assistant. They will show up in the Unknown category, but the trap
description and severity will be accurate.
For more information on using IT Assistant to manage your data center,
see the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant User's Guide.
NOTE: You can also use Dell Management Console, the next generation
one-to-many systems management application, to view iDRAC6 status and events.
See the Dell Management Console User’s Guide on the Dell Support site at
support.dell.com/manuals for more information.
