Table 2. OMIVV server Management portlet Information Description Service Tag Displays the service tag for your PowerEdge server. Use this ID when you call for support. Model Name Displays the server’s model name. Fault Resilient Memory Displays the status of a BIOS attribute. The BIOS attribute is enabled in the BIOS during initial setup of the server and displays the memory operational mode of the server. Restart your system when you change the memory operational mode value. This is applicable for 12th Gen of the PowerEdge servers and later that support Fault Resilient Memory (FRM) option, running ESXi 5.5 or later version. The four different values of BIOS attribute are: - Enabled and Protected: This value indicates that the system is supported and the operating system version is ESXi 5.5 or later and the memory operational mode in BIOS is set to FRM.
- NUMA Enabled and Protected: This value indicates that the system is supported and the operating system version is ESXi 5.5 or later and the memory operational mode in BIOS is set to NUMA.
- Enabled and Not Protected: This value indicates that it supports the system with operating system version lesser than ESXi 5.5.
- Disabled: This value indicates that it supports valid systems with any operating system version and the memory operational mode in BIOS is not set to FRM.
- Blank: If memory operational mode in BIOS is not supported, the FRM attribute is not displayed.
System Lockdown Mode Displays the status of the iDRAC Lockdown Mode for 14th Gen PowerEdge servers. A closed lock represents the iDRAC Lockdown Mode is turned on whereas an opened lock represents the iDRAC Lockdown Mode is turned off. Identification Displays the following:

- Power State—Displays if power is ON or OFF
- iDRAC IP—Displays the iDRAC IP address
- Management IP—Displays the management IP address
- Connection Profile—Displays the connection profile name for this host
- Model—Displays the Dell EMC server model
- Service Tag—Displays the Service tag for the server
- Asset Tag—Displays the Asset tag

Host Actions To blink at various time intervals, set up the physical server to blink at various time intervals. See Blink indicator light. View the OMIVV Host Health portlet:
For example, if there are five healthy signs and one warning sign, the overall health is shown as warning.Table 3. OMIVV host health Information Description OMIVV Host Health Component health is a graphical representation of the status of all major host server components: Server Global status, Server, Power supply, Temperature, Voltages, Processors, Batteries, Intrusion, Hardware log, Power management, Power and Memory. The chassis health parameters are applicable for models VRTX version 1.0 and later, M1000e version 4.4 and later. For versions less than 4.3 only two health indicators are displayed, namely Healthy and Warning or Critical (Inverted triangle with an exclamatory mark in orange color). The overall health indicates the health based on the chassis with the least health parameter. The options include: - Healthy (green check mark)—component operating normally
- Warning (yellow triangle with exclamation point)—component has a noncritical error.
- Critical (red X)—component has a critical failure.
- Unknown (question mark)—status is unknown for the component.
