Revision 8 posted to Systems Management - Wiki by Kenneth Alexander on 5/4/2016 12:16:54 PM

The iDRAC Service Module (iSM) is a small OS-resident process that expands iDRAC management into supported host operating systems. Specifically, iSM adds the following services:

We have built iSM for those customers want more OS integration with iDRAC. They want to know what OS type, version, and host name is being used on the server. In place of having to create tools to import OS event logs to gather hardware health to custom tools, iSM has been built as a very lightweight service that can be used to expand iDRAC's management capabilities. For Dell's 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, iSM has been enhanced with these new features:

  • Reporting of host OS IP addresses
  • WMI integration with new storage reporting
  • Integration of iSM with Tech Support Report

These new features provide easier troubleshooting of servers by adding key OS information, and add context to SNMP traps for more intelligent alert processing. With comprehensive WMI support for Windows Server customers and seamless remote support and servicing via TSR, less effort is needed to resolve technical/health issues.

Supported Platforms:

The following is the list of supported platforms for iDRAC Service Module.

Dell 13th generation PowerEdge servers

Dell 12th generation PowerEdge servers

R530, R530 XD, R730, R730 XD, R630, T630, R230, R330, R430, R530, R930, T130, T330, T430, M630, M830, FC430, FC630, FC830, C4130, C6320, R7910M820, M620, M520, M420, R220, R320, R420, R520, R620, R720, R720 XD, R820, R920, T320, T420, T620, FM120

Remote iDRAC hard reset

Using iDRAC, you can monitor the supported servers for critical system hardware, firmware, or software issues. Sometimes, iDRAC may become unresponsive due to various reasons. During such scenarios, you may have to turn off the server by plugging it off from the socket, after which the iDRAC can be reset.

Using the Remote iDRAC hard reset feature, whenever iDRAC becomes unresponsive, you can perform a remote iDRAC reset operation without the need to shut down the server. To reset the iDRAC remotely, ensure that you have administrative privileges on the host OS. By default, the remote iDRAC hard reset feature is enabled.

iDRAC access via Host OS (Experimental Feature)

Using Dell’s PowerEdge Servers, you can manage the hardware or the firmware of a device through iDRAC by configuring an iDRAC dedicated network. Through the dedicated network port, you can access the iDRAC interfaces such as GUI, WSMAN, RACADM, and Redfish client.

The prerequisite to manage the hardware or the firmware is to have a dedicated connection between a device and the supported iDRAC interface. Using the iDRAC access via Host OS feature, you can connect to an iDRAC interface from an OS IP or host irrespective of the connection between a device and an iDRAC dedicated network. This feature allows you to monitor the hardware or firmware even if the iDRAC is not connected to the servers.

In-band support for iDRAC SNMP alerts

Using iDRAC, an out-of-band server management and monitoring tool, the SNMP traps/alerts can be recorded in the log. However, from a host OS systems management using in-band agent perspective, the preference is more on the SNMP alert received from the host OS than the traps received from iDRAC. When an SNMP alert is received from iDRAC, it would be challenging to determine the source of the alert as it is from an iDRAC IP and not the system IP.

Using iDRAC Service Module 2.3, you can receive SNMP alerts from the host OS which is similar to the alerts that are generated by iDRAC.


Operating system information

Server Administrator currently shares operating system information and host name with iDRAC. The iDRAC Service Module provides similar information such as host OS name, server host IP address information, OS version, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) with iDRAC. The network interfaces on the host OS are also displayed. By default, this monitoring feature is enabled. This feature is available even if Server Administrator is installed on the host OS.

Lifecycle Controller log replication into operating system

Replicates the Lifecycle Controller (LC) logs to the OS logs. All events that have the OS Log option as the target (in the Alerts page or in the equivalent RACADM or WSMAN interfaces) are replicated in the OS log using the iDRAC Service Module. This process is similar to the System Event Log (SEL) replication performed by Server Administrator.

The default set of logs to be included in the OS logs are the same as the logs configured for SNMP traps/alerts. Only the events logged in the LC log after the iDRAC Service Module was installed are replicated to the OS Log. If Server Administrator is installed, the monitoring feature is disabled to avoid duplicate SEL entries in the OS log.

In iDRAC Service Module 2.1, you can customize the location to replicate the LC logs. By default, the LC logs are replicated in the Systemgroup of the Windows logs folder in the Windows Event Viewer. You can replicate the LC logs to an existing group or create a new folder in the Application and Services Logs folder in the Windows Event Viewer.

NOTE: You can choose the location to replicate the LC logs only during iDRAC Service Module custom installation or iDRAC Service Module modification.
NOTE: The source name of the iDRAC Service Module LCL logs has been changed from iDRAC Service Module to Lifecycle Controller Log.

Automatic system recovery feature

Automatic System Recovery feature is a hardware-based timer, which is used to reset the server in the event of a hardware failure. You can perform automatic system recovery operations such as reboot, power cycle, or power off after a specified time interval. This feature is enabled only when the operating system watchdog timer is disabled. If Server Administrator is installed, the monitoring feature is disabled to avoid duplicate watchdog timers.

Windows Management Instrumentation Providers

Windows Management Instrumentation Providers available with iDRAC Service Module exposes hardware data through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is a set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumented components provide information and notification. WMI is Microsoft's implementation of the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) and Common Information Model (CIM) standards from the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) to manage Server hardware, operating systems and applications. WMI Providers helps to integrate with Systems Management Consoles such as Microsoft System Center and enables scripting to manage Microsoft Windows Servers.

Automatic Technical Support Report collection

The Technical Support Report (TSR) feature in iDRAC collects information about the hardware, OS and relevant application data and compresses this information. Currently, you have to manually run the OS Collector tool to generate the TSR. Using iDRAC Service Module 2.0 or later versions, the OS Collector tool automatically collects relevant OS and hardware information. Automatic Support Log collection including OS and Application Information Collection with TSR.

By using iDRAC Service Module you reduce the number of manual steps to collect the Technical Support Report as the collection process is automated.

NOTE: This feature is available by default when you install iDRAC Service Module 2.0 or later versions on systems running supported Microsoft or Linux operating systems. You cannot disable the feature.
NOTE: The OS log collection feature of Automatic Technical Support Report is not supported on CentOS.

NVMe PCIe SSD device removal support

You can remove a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Pheripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE) Solid State Device (SSD) without shutting down or rebooting the system. When you are removing a device, all the activities associated with the device must be stopped to prevent data loss. To prevent loss of data use the Prepare to Remove option, which stops all the device-associated background activities, after which you can remove the NVMe PCIe SSD physically.

What is iDRAC?

The integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller is embedded within every Dell PowerEdge™ server and provides functionality that helps IT administrators deploy, update, monitor, and maintain Dell servers with no need for any additional software to be installed. The Dell iDRAC works regardless of operating system or hypervisor presence because from a pre-OS or bare-metal state, iDRAC is ready to work because it is embedded within each server from the factory.


If you are new to iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller, check out the "how to" videos we have on youtube.com here.


The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make server administrators more productive and improve the overall availability of Dell servers. iDRAC alerts administrators to server issues, helps them perform remote server management, and reduces the need for physical access to the server.

iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller Technology Licensing Summary

Dell provides three main offerings: Basic Management, Express, and Enterprise. As in Dell’s 11th generation servers, Basic Management (called BMC in 11th generation) is the default for servers 200-500 series. For 600 series and above, iDRAC Express is the default offering that is part of the base configuration. It does not require a license to be installed, backed up, or managed. Express offers embedded tools, console integration, and simplified remote access.

However, most IT administrators want a deeper, more inclusive solution that allows them to manage servers as if they were physically near the server, and this is available by upgrading to the Enterprise license level, which is fully digital. Dell also stores a copy of the key and makes it available to you in an online License Management portal (https://www.dell.com/support/licensing/).

Executive Summary

With the launch of the Dell PowerEdge 13th generation servers on Sept 9th, 2014, Dell has enhanced our embedded management without the need to install a software based agent within the host operating system. At the heart of the 13th generation servers embedded management is the iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller technology, which allows users to perform useful tasks such as configure BIOS and hardware settings, deploy operating systems, update drivers, change RAID settings, and save hardware profiles. Together, they provide a robust set of management functions that can be leveraged throughout the entire server lifecycle.


If you are new to using iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller, check out the "how to" videos we have on youtube.com here.


Faster, More Efficient, More Secure Local and Remote Deployment, Configuration and Updates
Dell Lifecycle Controller simplifies server lifecycle management— from provisioning, deployment, patching and updating to servicing and user customization—for servers located both locally and remotely. It was delivered as part of the Dell Remote Access Controller or iDRAC (Express, Enterprise and vFlash) starting with Dell PowerEdge 11G servers. On 12G servers, the vFlash feature is included with the iDRAC7 Enterprise License, so you no longer have to separately license vFlash starting with Lifecycle Controller 2. Dell’s 12G servers only use Express or Enterprise licensing. Lifecycle Controller includes managed and persistant storage that embeds systems management features and Operating System device drivers directly on the server, thus eliminating the media-based system management tools and utilities traditionally needed for systems management.  

Lifecycle Controller reduces the time and number of steps taken to accomplish tasks, reduces potential for error, enhances server and application uptime and security, and results in more efficient IT management. Developed on the industry standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) platform and Web Services for Management (WSMan) interfaces, Lifecycle Controller provides an open environment for console integration that also allows for custom scripting for Lifecycle Controller. Leading systems management consoles (e.g., Microsoft® System Center Configuration Manager, BMC Software BladeLogic® Operations Manager, Symantec™ Deployment Solution, Dell™ Management Console) have integrated Dell Lifecycle Controller, thus offering its features and capabilities to existing infrastructures where those consoles are installed.  


Why did Dell develop Lifecycle Controller?
When Dell examined common management tasks and the inefficiencies associated with them, we discovered something interesting – it wasn’t the tools that were making management tasks take so long, it was how they were delivered. The most common activities like provisioning, deploying, and updating required multiple tools, multiple forms of media and scouring the Web for the latest enablement tools, including drivers and firmware. This traditional delivery model resulted in inefficient use of time, a potential for error and potential exposure to security risks.

 

Embedded Management
Lifecycle Controller - Local GUILifecycle Controller - Web Services API

Lifecycle controller supports local 1-to-1 system management tasks via a graphical user interface (GUI) on the servers KVM for operating system install, updates, configuration, and for performing diagnostics, on single, local servers. This eliminates the need for multiple option ROMs for hardware configuration

  

 

 

Remote Services are standards-based interfaces that enable consoles to integrate, for example, bare-metal provisioning and one-to-many OS deployments, for servers locatedremotely. Dell’s Lifecycle Controller takes advantage of the capabilities of both USC and Remote Services to deliver significant advancement and simplification of server deployment.

Lifecycle Controller Serviceability aims at simplifying server reprovision and/or replacing failed parts and thus reduces maintenance downtime

Lifecycle Controller Release Summary

  • Beginning with the first release of iDRAC8 in September 2014, there will no longer be a separate stand alone Lifecycle Controller (LC) firmware. Instead, the LC firmware image will be a part of the iDRAC firmware image, which can be found here.

Dell OpenManage Plug-in for Nagios XI provide a proactive approach to data center management that delivers features for monitoring Dell PowerEdge 12G servers that’s easy and free of cost. The Dell OpenManage plug-in protects an IT organization’s existing investment in Nagios XI console and helps ease the integration and monitoring of Dell servers. The product equips IT administrators with the information necessary to make rapid yet informed decisions impacting the availability of data center resources and thus helps increase productivity and reduce costs. 

Customers can choose to monitor Dell servers without software agents by leveraging agent-free, out-of-band technology via iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller.  By using out-of-band management, IT administrators no longer need to install or periodically certify/validate the traditional in-band OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) agent installed in the server Operating System (OS). This out-of-band management technology allows IT administrators to effectively monitor Dell systems with increased availability from any location, and without the use of agents. It accomplishes this regardless of operating system or hypervisor presence or state.

Product features

  • Classification of Dell PowerEdge 12G and later generation of servers, using an agent-free, out-of-band technology
  • Monitoring of server health
  • Simple launch of the iDRAC console for further troubleshooting, configuration, update, and management of Dell servers.
  • Basic inventory details of Dell agent-free servers
      • service tag
      • model number
      • firmware version
      • hostname
      • operating system name and version

Business Benefits

  • Leverages existing investment in Nagios XI
  • Ease of integration and monitoring of Dell servers in environments utilizing existing Nagios XI solution
  • Simple installation and configuration to maximize utilization of IT resources

A note about support: The Dell OpenManage Wizard for Nagios XI product is strictly for proof of concept to gauge customer interest and demand. This offering is not covered by Dell Support. It is intended for use only with Dell PowerEdge 12th Generation Servers.

Why do I want to use this tool?

Dell Troubleshooting Tool enables you to gather information about problems that may occur while using OpenManage Essentials. This tool can be used to diagnose discovery-related problems that may occur while connecting to managed nodes using various protocols such as SNMP, WMI, SSH, WS-Man, PowerVault modular disk specific connection, and so on. This tool also helps you to verify the SMTP specific settings, SNMP trap listening, SNMP trap forwarding, and TCP/UDP port availability. You can also use the tool to diagnose issues that may occur while updating patches through in-band method and also verify connectivity issues that may occur during deployment using a network share. This tool also includes several other tests that enable you to verify issues that may occur while using OpenManage Essentials. For more information, see the tool’s Help and readme file.

Download the standalone Dell Troubleshooting Tool

Examples:

The following are some example use cases:

  • You are either unable to discover a supported device in OpenManage Essentials or the device is classified as an unknown device while using SNMP protocol. Run this tool and select the SNMP protocol, specify protocol specific settings, and provide remote system IP Address. For Dell PowerEdge servers, verify whether the tool provides Server Administrator version in the result area for a successful test (using the SNMP Protocol for an in-band server discovery).
  • You can verify if you can ping a remote device (using Ping/ICMP protocol) and also check if you can resolve the host name of the device from the management station (using Name Resolution protocol).
  • You can verify if the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator services are running on a remote device (using Services protocol).
  • You can check warranty status of any Dell server (using Service Tag).
  • You can execute a command on the remote system and verify its output.
  • You can listen to incoming SNMP traps.
  • You can use this tool to forward test SNMP traps.
  • You can use this tool to verify the SMTP settings to ensure that OpenManage Essentials can successfully run the Alert Emails action.
  • You can use this tool to verify the availability of the local or remote ports.
  • You can identify the user groups of the active user.
  • You can view or delete the pending system update jobs in an iDRAC.
  • You can verify connectivity to the deployment file share.

About Dell Troubleshooting Tool:

Using this tool you can gather more information about failures and issues with the discovery of the network devices (for example, Dell servers, clients, or any other network resources) in Dell OpenManage Essentials.

Dell Troubleshooting Tool also has the ability to verify Emails, SMTP settings, check for the availability of ports, run a command on a remote device, send and listen for SNMP traps, check warranty status, verify connectivity issues to a network share and iDRAC while deploying files.

Dell Troubleshooting Tool has tests that you can use to debug issues during in-band system update, find detailed information about iDRAC jobs or delete iDRAC jobs, and verify the IP address formed during out-of-band system update.

This tool is optional and is only required if you want to debug issues. The tool is also available as part of the OpenManage Essentials installer media. The tool helps you identify the issue. However, you have to manually resolve the issue outside of the tool.

Installation Requirements:

Troubleshooting Tool is a 64-bit application that requires the following

  • Supported Operating System
    • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2
    • Microsoft Windows Server 2012
    • Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1

OpenManage Essentials MIB Import Utility

Revision 20 posted to Systems Management - Wiki by durai_singh on 7/5/2016 11:42:29 AM

Note: From OpenManage Essentials version 2.2 onwards, the MIB Import functionality is integrated within the OpenManage Essentials user interface.

Why do I want to use this tool?

OpenManage Essentials provides support for formatting hardware alerts (i.e., SNMP traps) for most Dell enterprise hardware. If you want to monitor non-Dell devices, you can use the OpenManage Essentials MIB Import Utility to define new alerts for OpenManage Essentials. Defining alerts enables OpenManage Essentials to monitor a wider range of hardware and to set up email and forwarding rules for these devices.  The MIB Import Utility is an optional tool that is only required if you want to add support for formatting alerts received from third-party devices.

The details:

Dell OpenManage Essentials MIB Import Utility enables you to extract trap definitions from SMIv1 or SMIv2 management information base (MIB) files. The extracted traps can be viewed and edited before importing them to OpenManage Essentials. This tool also enables you to manually define and manage traps. Using the imported and manually-managed trap definitions, OpenManage Essentials classifies the incoming trap from a specific device as expected.

If you want to monitor (classify incoming SNMP traps) a SNMP supported device that is not currently supported by OpenManage Essentials, use MIB Import Utility to import or manually define that device’s SNMP trap definitions for OpenManage Essentials.

Please review the readme file after you install this tool.  The readme also provides a list of some of
the MIBs that have been tested using this tool. Feel free to post updates on the DTC/OME forum including MIBs that you have imported using this tool.  Your posts would be of help to the community. 

Understandably, all MIBs are different and not all MIBs adhere to the specifications. This tool tries to accommodate these differences, but if you notice any issues with a MIB you are trying to import, post a question on the OpenManage Essentials forum.

Ensure the following before using this utility:

  • The remote device supports SNMP (v1/v2) protocol.
  • SNMP services on the remote device are working fine and trap destination point to
    the OME system.
  • You have the device specific SNMP MIB files (main MIB and its reference MIBs).
  • Validate these specific MIB(s) using a standard MIB compiler tool.

    Version : 1.9.0

     

                   GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

                           Version 3, 29 June 2007

     

     Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>

     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

     

     

      This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates

    the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public

    License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.

     

      0. Additional Definitions.

     

      As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser

    General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU

    General Public License.

     

      "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,

    other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.

     

      An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided

    by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.

    Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode

    of using an interface provided by the Library.

     

      A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an

    Application with the Library.  The particular version of the Library

    with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked

    Version".

     

      The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the

    Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code

    for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are

    based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.

     

      The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the

    object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data

    and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the

    Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.

     

      1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

     

      You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License

    without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.

     

      2. Conveying Modified Versions.

     

      If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a

    facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application

    that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the

    facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified

    version:

     

       a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to

       ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the

       function or data, the facility still operates, and performs

       whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or

     

       b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of

       this License applicable to that copy.

     

      3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

     

      The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from

    a header file that is part of the Library.  You may convey such object

    code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated

    material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure

    layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates

    (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:

     

       a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the

       Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are

       covered by this License.

     

       b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license

       document.

     

      4. Combined Works.

     

      You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,

    taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the

    portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse

    engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of

    the following:

     

       a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that

       the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are

       covered by this License.

     

       b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license

       document.

     

       c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during

       execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among

       these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the

       copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.

     

       d) Do one of the following:

     

           0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this

           License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form

           suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to

           recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of

           the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the

           manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying

           Corresponding Source.

     

           1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the

           Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time

           a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer

           system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version

           of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked

           Version.

     

       e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise

       be required to provide such information under section 6 of the

       GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is

       necessary to install and execute a modified version of the

       Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the

       Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If

       you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany

       the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application

       Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation

       Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL

       for conveying Corresponding Source.)

     

      5. Combined Libraries.

     

      You may place library facilities that are a work based on the

    Library side by side in a single library together with other library

    facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this

    License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your

    choice, if you do both of the following:

     

       a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based

       on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,

       conveyed under the terms of this License.

     

       b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it

       is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the

       accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

     

      6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

     

      The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions

    of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new

    versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may

    differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

     

      Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the

    Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version

    of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"

    applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and

    conditions either of that published version or of any later version

    published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you

    received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser

    General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser

    General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

     

      If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide

    whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall

    apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is

    permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the

    Library.

    Why pthreads-win32 did not use the GNU General Public License

    -------------------------------------------------------------

     

        The goal of the pthreads-win32 project has been to

        provide a quality and complete implementation of the POSIX

        threads API for Microsoft Windows within the limits imposed

        by virtue of it being a stand-alone library and not

        linked directly to other POSIX compliant libraries. For

        example, some functions and features, such as those based

        on POSIX signals, are missing.

     

        Pthreads-win32 is a library, available in several different

        versions depending on supported compilers, and may be used

        as a dynamically linked module or a statically linked set of

        binary modules. It is not an application on it's own.

     

        It was fully intended that pthreads-win32 be usable with

        commercial software not covered by either the GPL or the LGPL

        licenses. Pthreads-win32 has many contributors to it's

        code base, many of whom have done so because they have

        used the library in commercial or proprietry software

        projects.

     

        Releasing pthreads-win32 under the LGPL ensures that the

        library can be used widely, while at the same time ensures

        that bug fixes and improvements to the pthreads-win32 code

        itself is returned to benefit all current and future users

        of the library.

     

        Although pthreads-win32 makes it possible for applications

        that use POSIX threads to be ported to Win32 platforms, the

        broader goal of the project is to encourage the use of open

        standards, and in particular, to make it just a little easier

        for developers writing Win32 applications to consider

        widening the potential market for their products.

    Current Revision posted to Systems Management - Wiki by DELL-Deepak R on 8/2/2016 10:27:26 AM

    The iDRAC Service Module (iSM) is a small OS-resident process that expands iDRAC management into supported host operating systems. Specifically, iSM adds the following services:

    We have built iSM for those customers want more OS integration with iDRAC. They want to know what OS type, version, and host name is being used on the server. In place of having to create tools to import OS event logs to gather hardware health to custom tools, iSM has been built as a very lightweight service that can be used to expand iDRAC's management capabilities. For Dell's 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, iSM has been enhanced with these new features:

    • Reporting of host OS IP addresses
    • WMI integration with new storage reporting
    • Integration of iSM with Tech Support Report
    • Remote iDRAC hard reset
    • iDRAC access via Host OS (Experimental Feature)
    • In-band support for iDRAC SNMP alerts

    These new features provide easier troubleshooting of servers by adding key OS information, and add context to SNMP traps for more intelligent alert processing. With comprehensive WMI support for Windows Server customers and seamless remote support and servicing via TSR, less effort is needed to resolve technical/health issues.

    Supported Platforms:

    The following is the list of supported platforms for iDRAC Service Module.

    Dell 13th generation PowerEdge servers

    Dell 12th generation PowerEdge servers

    R530, R530 XD, R730, R730 XD, R630, T630, R230, R330, R430, R930, T130, T330, T430, M630, M830, FC430, FC630, FC830, C4130, C6320, R7910M820, M620, M520, M420, R220, R320, R420, R520, R620, R720, R720 XD, R820, R920, T320, T420, T620, FM120

    Remote iDRAC hard reset

    Using iDRAC, you can monitor the supported servers for critical system hardware, firmware, or software issues. Sometimes, iDRAC may become unresponsive due to various reasons. During such scenarios, you may have to turn off the server by plugging it off from the socket, after which the iDRAC can be reset.

    Using the Remote iDRAC hard reset feature, whenever iDRAC becomes unresponsive, you can perform a remote iDRAC reset operation without the need to shut down the server. To reset the iDRAC remotely, ensure that you have administrative privileges on the host OS. By default, the remote iDRAC hard reset feature is enabled.

    iDRAC access via Host OS (Experimental Feature)

    Using Dell’s PowerEdge Servers, you can manage the hardware or the firmware of a device through iDRAC by configuring an iDRAC dedicated network. Through the dedicated network port, you can access the iDRAC interfaces such as GUI, WSMAN, RACADM, and Redfish client.

    The prerequisite to manage the hardware or the firmware is to have a dedicated connection between a device and the supported iDRAC interface. Using the iDRAC access via Host OS feature, you can connect to an iDRAC interface from an OS IP or host irrespective of the connection between a device and an iDRAC dedicated network. This feature allows you to monitor the hardware or firmware even if the iDRAC is not connected to the servers.

    In-band support for iDRAC SNMP alerts

    Using iDRAC, an out-of-band server management and monitoring tool, the SNMP traps/alerts can be recorded in the log. However, from a host OS systems management using in-band agent perspective, the preference is more on the SNMP alert received from the host OS than the traps received from iDRAC. When an SNMP alert is received from iDRAC, it would be challenging to determine the source of the alert as it is from an iDRAC IP and not the system IP.

    Using iDRAC Service Module 2.3, you can receive SNMP alerts from the host OS which is similar to the alerts that are generated by iDRAC.


    Operating system information

    Server Administrator currently shares operating system information and host name with iDRAC. The iDRAC Service Module provides similar information such as host OS name, server host IP address information, OS version, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) with iDRAC. The network interfaces on the host OS are also displayed. By default, this monitoring feature is enabled. This feature is available even if Server Administrator is installed on the host OS.

    Lifecycle Controller log replication into operating system

    Replicates the Lifecycle Controller (LC) logs to the OS logs. All events that have the OS Log option as the target (in the Alerts page or in the equivalent RACADM or WSMAN interfaces) are replicated in the OS log using the iDRAC Service Module. This process is similar to the System Event Log (SEL) replication performed by Server Administrator.

    The default set of logs to be included in the OS logs are the same as the logs configured for SNMP traps/alerts. Only the events logged in the LC log after the iDRAC Service Module was installed are replicated to the OS Log. If Server Administrator is installed, the monitoring feature is disabled to avoid duplicate SEL entries in the OS log.

    In iDRAC Service Module 2.1, you can customize the location to replicate the LC logs. By default, the LC logs are replicated in the Systemgroup of the Windows logs folder in the Windows Event Viewer. You can replicate the LC logs to an existing group or create a new folder in the Application and Services Logs folder in the Windows Event Viewer.

    NOTE: You can choose the location to replicate the LC logs only during iDRAC Service Module custom installation or iDRAC Service Module modification.
    NOTE: The source name of the iDRAC Service Module LCL logs has been changed from iDRAC Service Module to Lifecycle Controller Log.

    Automatic system recovery feature

    Automatic System Recovery feature is a hardware-based timer, which is used to reset the server in the event of a hardware failure. You can perform automatic system recovery operations such as reboot, power cycle, or power off after a specified time interval. This feature is enabled only when the operating system watchdog timer is disabled. If Server Administrator is installed, the monitoring feature is disabled to avoid duplicate watchdog timers.

    Windows Management Instrumentation Providers

    Windows Management Instrumentation Providers available with iDRAC Service Module exposes hardware data through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is a set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumented components provide information and notification. WMI is Microsoft's implementation of the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) and Common Information Model (CIM) standards from the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) to manage Server hardware, operating systems and applications. WMI Providers helps to integrate with Systems Management Consoles such as Microsoft System Center and enables scripting to manage Microsoft Windows Servers.

    Automatic Technical Support Report collection

    The Technical Support Report (TSR) feature in iDRAC collects information about the hardware, OS and relevant application data and compresses this information. Currently, you have to manually run the OS Collector tool to generate the TSR. Using iDRAC Service Module 2.0 or later versions, the OS Collector tool automatically collects relevant OS and hardware information. Automatic Support Log collection including OS and Application Information Collection with TSR.

    By using iDRAC Service Module you reduce the number of manual steps to collect the Technical Support Report as the collection process is automated.

    NOTE: This feature is available by default when you install iDRAC Service Module 2.0 or later versions on systems running supported Microsoft or Linux operating systems. You cannot disable the feature.
    NOTE: The OS log collection feature of Automatic Technical Support Report is not supported on CentOS.

    NVMe PCIe SSD device removal support

    You can remove a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Pheripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE) Solid State Device (SSD) without shutting down or rebooting the system. When you are removing a device, all the activities associated with the device must be stopped to prevent data loss. To prevent loss of data use the Prepare to Remove option, which stops all the device-associated background activities, after which you can remove the NVMe PCIe SSD physically.
