Inventory 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 includes 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.

iDRAC inventories and monitors the PERC 8 series of RAID controllers that include H310, H710, H710P, and H810. The controllers that do not support Comprehensive Embedded Management are Internal Tape Adapters (ITAs), SAS 6 Gbps HBA, and SAS 12 Gbps HBA.

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.
