Inventorying and monitoring storage devices
You can remotely monitor the health and view the inventory of the following Comprehensive Embedded Management (CEM)
enabled storage devices in the managed system using iDRAC web interface:
• RAID controllers, non-RAID controllers, and PCIe extenders
• Enclosures that include Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs), power supply, fan probe, and temperature probe
• Physical disks
• Virtual disks
• Batteries
However, RACADM and WS-MAN display information for most of the storage devices in the system.
The recent storage events and topology of storage devices are also displayed.
Alerts and SNMP traps are generated for storage events. The events are logged in the Lifecycle Log.
NOTE: If you enumerate the enclosure view's WSMAN command on a system while one PSU-cable is removed, the
primary status of the enclosure view is reported as Healthy instead of Warning.
