Discrepancy between Chassis alert Level and OME

Hi,

We have a PSU alert (Power Supply 2 failed) in an m1000e chassis, which shows as Critical and generates an email for us...So far so good.

The same incident (by time) in OME only shows as a Warning.


We can reproduce the state change of this PSU and we get the same responses from Chassis and OME.

The chassis is at f/w 5.02.

OME is the latest.

  • Is it possible to change the Alert Level of a particular alert in OME from Warning to Critical??

Thx,

John Bradshaw

Hi John,

This seems odd.  I wonder if there is a problem with the MIB or alert definition in OME.  Can you open a ticket at 800-945-3355 so the support guys can grab the database and get it to engineering?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi John,

If you wish to change severity of a particular trap, you can make use of MIB Import Utility which is bundled and installed along with OME.

Video for your reference (Editing a trap definition): en.community.dell.com/.../3570.openmanage-essentials-mib-import-utility

Hope this helps!

Hi John,

Can you share the Alert name/ OID details, so that we can double check whether any discrepancy exists and fix that.

Thanks,
Vijay

Here are two screenshots of the same PSU failure at the same time.

The top one is from OME, the bottom one from the Chassis.

Thx

Just noticed that your query concerns chassis. You will need to make sure of SNMP trap destination settings on the CMC.

Hope this helps!

Hi John,

Thanks for the information about alerts.

The first one is OME's internal health alert which is generated whenever change in overall health status of a device is observed. At this point, the target server's health status would have turned warning (yellow exclamation).

A server would send a SNMP trap if a power supply goes missing / becomes non-functional. I would suggest to check if SNMP trap destination is properly configured on the affected server to send traps to OME when this happens.

How are you monitoring this server, out-of-band (through iDRAC) or in-band (through OS with OMSA)?
