Setting Up An OMSA Trap Destination

This task is only for host systems using OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) for event generation instead of iDRAC6. There is no additional configuration required for iDRAC6.

To set up an OMSA trap destination:

  1. Either use the link to the OMSA user interface found in Settings > General, or navigate to the OMSA agent from a Web browser (https://<HostIP>:1311/).

  2. Log in to the interface, and select the Alert Management tab.

  3. Select Alert Actions and make sure that any events to be monitored have the Broadcast Message option set, so that the events will be sent out.

  4. Select the Platform Events option at the top of the tab.

  5. Click the grey Configure Destinations button, and click the Destination link.

  6. Select the Enable Destination check box.

  7. Enter the Dell Management Plug-in appliance IP address in the Destination IP Address field.

  8. Click Apply Changes.

  9. Repeat step 1 to step 8 to configure additional events.
