Description

How To Set It

Event?

Set to y to raise events. The default is y.

Collect data?

Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. If set to y, this Knowledge Script returns:

  • 100 if the redundant power supply is operating properly.

  • 50 if its operation has degraded.

  • 0 if the redundant power supply has failed.

The default is n.

Community

Set the community string in Security Manager for Dell OpenManage server Agent or Dell-iDRAC resources:

  • Provide the SNMP community string that is required to access Dell OpenManage or iDRAC resources. If it is empty, then the community string configured in the security manager will be used. Refer Section 2.8, “Configuring SNMP,” of Management Guide to know how to configure the security manager.

    If community string is not configured in the security manger, then by default, Public will be used as the community string.
