Configuration of alert settings on iDRAC and SCOM console

After discovering the PowerEdge Servers, the OMIMSSC appliance automatically performs the following actions on the target iDRAC to receive alerts on the SCOM console:

  • The option to send alert notifications from iDRAC is enabled under System Settings > Alert Configuration > Alerts or under Alert Settings depending on the PowerEdge Server.
  • Under SNMP Traps Configuration, the Destination Address is set to the IP address of the Alert Relay Server associated with the device in an available Destination Number field.

On the SCOM console, a DellEMC_OMIMSSC_SNMP_RunAsAccount account of the Community String type is created on the SCOM console. A corresponding Run As Configuration profile— SNMP Monitoring Account is created with the SNMP v1 or v2 Community String. By default, the DellEMC_OMIMSSC_SNMP_RunAsAccount is associated with the Dell EMC Hardware class. With the SNMP Monitoring account configured in SCOM, the Dell EMC Servers and Rack Workstation (licensed) alert view displays the SNMP alerts from iDRAC. To update the SNMP v1 or v2 Community String or change the associated class, see Create Run-As-Account for SNMP monitoring and Associate multiple Run-As accounts.
