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 recoveries. (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 event classes follow a sim- ple hierarchy and are documented in the online Dell NNM SE Tools Help file.
