Important Notes
================================================================================
This section provides information to enhance your experience with Dell EMC
* Dell EMC Server PRO Management Pack does not monitor informational alerts.
You must take appropriate action by looking at the system health in
Operations Manager (Operations Manager) State view, after implementing PRO
Tips
* Dell EMC Server PRO Management Pack does not provide multiple alerts on
sensors (inclusive of current, voltage, fan, and temperature). This means
that there is only one sensor event reported for any sensor state transition
on a given system. After you have cleared the alert, any subsequent alert
is reported
* Dell EMC Server PRO Management Pack has a default discovery cycle of 24
hours. You can override the discovery cycle time
* The "Management Station Action Account" needs Administrator privileges to
discover systems and PowerShell execution
* After a system is discovered, if you uninstall Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator or Dell OpenManage Server Administrator services are stopped,
the health of the Dell EMC PRO Pack discovered system will display as
"healthy." However, no alert and PRO Tip is displayed in Operations Manager
and SCVMM, respectively
* All Unit Monitors are disabled by default in Dell EMC Server PRO Management
Pack
* You can override any of the following recovery actions.
1. You can override the remedial action of restricting server from
hosting new virtual machines
2. You can override the remedial action of migrating virtual machines
when restricting server from hosting new virtual machines
