Dell OMCI Email alerts?
Aug 13 2008, 12:11 PM EDT Our organization has been running Dell ITA to manager our servers and now we want to monitor client machines. We have installed OMCI 7.6 on several workstations, but have not been able to receive email alerts (i.e. chassis intrusion, hard drive changes, etc). I am using CIM connectivity to manage the clients. Does anyone know if we can get email alerts from OMCI? 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Dell OMCI Email alerts?
Aug 15 2008, 3:19 AM EDT Hai.... server (email) alerts are sent from ITA, triggered by (filtered) SNMP traps, coming from the server. Regarding this document (http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smcliins/cli76/en/ug/ugenpdf.pdf - page 32) this should be similar possible with OMCI and WMI (CIM) alerting, but it says nothing detailed about the remote alerting - which would be the requirement to "inform" ITA about the client problem and in consequence to send the email alert. May be someone should write an power solutions article about this...? Alternatively (or complementary) you can use Dell Client Manager standard for email alerting - it is also free. stephan. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Aug 15 2008, 9:09 AM EDT Thanks Stephan. We have looked into Dell Client Manager, but does it require an Altiris agent to be installed on every workstation? We don't want to go that route just yet. I'd rather use OMCI in the same way as OMSA with ITA. -CK 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Aug 18 2008, 4:08 AM EDT Hai.... it does not work like OMSA. But yes - you need the Altiris agent, but with DCM the OMCI module is included and you do not need OMCI. stephan. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
