This product supports Dell Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP) 2.2 or later
integration with Tivoli/Enterprise Console version 2.6 and Tivoli/Enterprise Console
Windows NT Adapter 3.1. Two components can be integrated with the Tivoli/
Enterprise Console — the Dell PowerEdge Expandable Raid Controller agent and the
Dell HIP agent.
Both of these components enter significant events into the Windows NT event log —
the RAID controller event-logging agent enters RAID events and the Dell HIP agent
enters HIP events. These events indicate failures, warnings, and rec overies. (The HIP
recoveries include recoveries of system health monitors such as temperature read-
ings, voltage readings, fan speeds, power supply status, and chassis intrusion.)
These Windows NT event log messages are converted to Tivoli event classes with
the appropriate slot values. Event classes are defined hierarchically, with child classes
inheriting attribute value defaults from the parent. The Dell ev e nt clas ses f ollo w a sim-
ple hierarchy and are documented in the online
Dell NNM SE Tools Help
file.
