Dell Version 7.3 manual Setting Platform Event Filter Alerts, None Reboot System, Power Off System

Page 62

NOTE: Six additional user entries are configurable when DRAC is installed. This results in a total of 16 users. The same username and password rules apply to BMC/iDRAC and RAC users. When DRAC/iDRAC6 is installed, all the 16 users entries are allocated to DRAC.

Setting Platform Event Filter Alerts

To configure the most relevant BMC features, such as Platform Event Filter (PEF) parameters and alert destinations using Server Administrator Instrumentation Service:

1.Click the System object.

2.Click the Alert Management tab.

3.Click Platform Events.

The Platform Events window allows you to take individual action on specific platform events. You can select those events for which you want to take shutdown actions and generate alerts for selected actions. You can also send alerts to specific IP address destinations of your choice.

NOTE: You must be logged in with Administrator privileges to configure the BMC PEF Alerts.

NOTE: The Enable Platform Event Filters Alerts setting disables or enables PEF alert generation. It is independent of the individual platform event alert settings.

NOTE: System Power Probe Warning and System Power Probe Failure are not supported on Dell PowerEdge systems without PMBus support although Server Administrator allows you to configure them.

NOTE: On Dell PowerEdge 1900 systems, the PS/VRM/D2D Warning, PS/VRM/D2D Failure, and Power Supply Absent Platform Event Filters are not supported even though Server Administrator allows you to configure these Event Filters.

4.Choose the platform event for which you want to take shutdown actions or generate alerts for selected actions and click Set Platform Events.

The Set Platform Events window allows you to specify the actions to be taken if the system is to be shut down in response to a platform event.

5.Select one of the following actions:

•None

•Reboot System

Shuts down the operating system and initiates system startup, performing BIOS checks and reloading the operating system.

•Power Off System

Turns off the electrical power to the system.

•Power Cycle System

Turns the electrical power to the system off, pauses, turns the power on, and reboots the system. Power cycling is useful when you want to reinitialize system components such as hard drives.

•Power Reduction Throttles the CPU.

CAUTION: If you select a Platform Event shutdown action other than None or Power Reduction, your system shuts down forcefully when the specified event occurs. This shutdown is initiated by firmware and is done without first shutting down the operating system or any running applications.
