Why don’t the Event and POST log tabs of the version 1.0 Server Console cor-
rectly display data when monitoring a Dell PowerEdge 2300 or 6300 server?
Version 1.2 of the Server Console is required to correctly display this data.
Why is some of the data in the basebrdd.mif meaningless when viewed through
the Dell Inspector?
Some of the data in the Dell Baseboard management information format (MIF)
(
basebrdd.mif ) and other MIFs is represented in raw binary format. A dedicated appli-
cation is required to format the raw data into readable form. Similar problems can be
encountered when attempting to view this data through the Microsoft Systems Man-
agement Server (SMS), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) browsers,
and other MIF browsers.
Why does a system that has been removed from the network continue to be dis-
played in the OpenView map?
OpenView retains objects in its database for a user-configurable amount of time. It
does so to minimize the amount of network traffic that results from the normal day-
to-day operation of turning machines off and on. Objects can be manually deleted
from the OpenView map.
I have just installed OpenView and opened a network map. Why are some sys-
tems not present on the map?
Discovery of systems on a network is a complex process and can take up to 24 hours.
There are many variables that influence the discovery process. See the HP OpenView
documentation for more information.
One of the nodes in an OpenView map is reporting a failure status, but this
status is not propagated up through the network. Why?
The method of status propagation through the OpenView maps is user configurable.
See the HP OpenView documentation for more information.
