Section 1Executive Summary

Microsoft® Operations Manager 2000 (MOM 2000) is an enterprise console for managing hardware systems. NetIQ® XMP™ for Server Hardware is software that extends the management capabilities of Microsoft Operations Manager 2000 (MOM) and enables MOM environments to view, monitor and manage server hardware from various server vendors running Microsoft Windows®. The NetIQ XMP for Dell OpenManage™ is specifically for managing Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers and PowerVault™ storage. XMP, for Extended Management Pack, is a library of pre-defined management rules. The XMP for Dell OpenManage provides the ability to manage Dell hardware through a MOM 2000 console. This means that the MOM 2000 console can now view, monitor, and manage Dell server hardware running Microsoft Windows NT® and Windows 2000. This extends the manageability of Dell servers to include performance and application management. With essential health monitoring and analysis functions, this Extended Management Pack solution (XMP solution) enables users to help optimize performance and availability through automated event detection and correction.

Key Points Embraces and Extends the MOM 2000 Platform Provides MOM 2000-based management of Dell PowerEdge servers. NetIQ XMP for Server Hardware extends native MOM 2000 capabilities to provide a solution that leverages NetIQ’s library of pre-defined rules for managing specific hardware servers. Provides an Advanced, Application-Specific Solution for Managing Dell Server HardwareProactively monitors the performance and availability of Dell server hardware with MOM 2000 through pre-defined knowledge and rules that are designed to optimize performance and availability of critical server hardware.

Section 2Introduction

The NetIQ XMP for Dell OpenManage monitors Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers 1through Dell Server Agents to help ensure they are functioning normally in a Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 environment. The NetIQ XMP for Dell OpenManage helps diagnose system hardware problems, as well as issues with network transmissions. By detecting, alerting on, and automatically responding to critical events, this XMP is designed to indicate, correct, and prevent possible service outages or configuration problems. With the embedded expertise in the NetIQ XMP for Dell OpenManage, it is possible to proactively manage Dell PowerEdge servers and identify issues before they become critical. This XMP can help reduce costly errors, prevent service outages, and reduce the operations costs of Dell PowerEdge servers.

Features The NetIQ XMP for Dell OpenManage monitors the status of various Dell PowerEdge server components. Microsoft Operations Manager technology helps to ensure delivery of alerts to administrators, which is not available using SNMP traps. This XMP highlights events that may indicate possible service outages or configuration problems, so you can quickly take corrective or preventive actions. For example, this XMP monitors the following components and conditions: Adaptec SCSI subsystem Array logical drives and physical drives Individual fans Dell memory devices Network interface transmission errors and network interface failures Power supplies and power redundancy status Temperature and voltage probes The NetIQ XMP for Dell OpenManage highlights any failures or configuration problems, helping to increase the security, availability, and performance of Dell PowerEdge servers.

Rule GroupsMOM 2000 structures the logic it uses to process incoming events into rule groups. Rule groups are further structured into parent/child relationships making it easy to navigate and group large numbers of rules. The NetIQ XMP for Dell OpenManage is organized with the following parent and child rule groups: Dell OpenManage :: NetIQ XMP Dell OpenManage Server Agent 4.0 and Newer ::

NetIQ Dell OpenManage Server Assistant 5.1.0 :: NetIQ

o CI/O Management Software Shared Rules :: NetIQo Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant Card (DRAC) Shared :: NetIQo Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant Server Shared :: NetIQo Dell OpenManage Shared Rules :: NetIQ

o PERC - PowerEdge RAID Controller Shared Rules :: NetIQ

A complete listing of the rule group structures and all the rules located within each rule group can be found in the Appendix of this document.

Section 4Conclusion

The NetIQ XMP for Dell OpenManage helps users to maximize their investments in both the Microsoft Operations Manager and Dell PowerEdge systems. Events are detected within the MOM environment, and corrective action can be prescribed automatically. The goal of the product is to maximize the manageability and reliability of the Dell environment while helping to lower total cost of ownership.

Key Customer Benefits

The NetIQ XMP for Dell OpenManage provides the following benefits to users: Single point management in heterogeneous environments:

o Ease of use – users can work with the system with which they are most familiar

o Integration of technological resources – resource management is available from a single location

o Faster prevention of and reaction to issues – with only a single place to look and a single interface to configure, management can become easier

Supporting low total cost of ownership by:o Low training costs – users will not need specialized trainingo Low software costs – leverage current investment in enterprise

management softwareo Improving uptime over distributed resources – by focusing

management resources in a single location, prevention of and reaction to issues can become more efficient

Leverage existing investments:o No new enterprise management software to purchase (except

the integration and additional partner licenses)o Rapid integration of assets – as resources are added to the

environment, they are immediately manageable from within the established processes
