Introduction CAUTION: See the Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document for important safety information before following any procedures listed in this document. An enclosure containing physical disk drives accessed through Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs) is called a storage enclosure. A storage enclosure includes various hardware components, such as physical disk drives, EMMs, fans, and power supply units (PSUs). -

About the Dell Storage enclosure This chapter describes about configuring and operating the Dell storage enclosures. The SHM CLI uses a number of terms to describe objects on which the software performs actions. See the Dell Storage PowerTools Server Hardware Manager Support Matrix for information on supported enclosures. Owner's Manual for the specific enclosure. -
Page 11: Installation Procedure
Installation procedure When connecting the storage enclosure to a Dell PowerEdge server, the server must have a supported SAS HBA installed. See the Dell Storage PowerTools Server Hardware Manager Support Matrix for information about supported SAS HBAs. If the host is connected to the storage enclosure by using multiple paths (two or more SAS connections), the host must have multipath configured. -
Page 12: Uninstalling Server Hardware Management
Run the installation program by running the command: ServerHardwareManagement-x.x.x.x-windows-installer.exe --mode unattended or, modify options.installer and run with switch --options C:\path\to\installer.options for a non-default install. This command installs the Server Hardware Management Software with all the default settings. The default installation directory is C: \Program Files\Dell\ ServerHardwareManagement. -
Page 13: Silent Installation
Silent installation About this task NOTE: Linux installation requires full root user rights. Console installation is no longer available. Instead, run the installer with switch --mode unattended for the default installation. A default installation requires no arguments. Steps Download the Server Hardware Management Software installation package from Dell.com/support. Navigate to the directory containing the extracted installer. -

Page 41: Monitoring
Monitoring The Server Hardware Manager monitors the storage enclosure and informs you about state changes of its elements. The Server Hardware Manager Monitor presents events to you in the following types: • Logging or Monitor service • SNMP • SCOM The following list describes events raised by the monitoring parts of the Server Hardware Manager solution. -
Page 42: Logging Or Monitor Service
• Windows event log • Linux syslog • Monitor Configuration File • Logging Functionality Modification Directions • SNMP • Events • JBOD LEDs Logging or Monitor Service The Server Hardware Manager Monitor is a service that runs automatically after installation. The service periodically verifies the status of storage hardware components and logs events. -
Page 43: Linux Syslog
Linux syslog The syslog contains all events detected by the Server Hardware Manager Monitor service on Linux. This log includes warning and critical events. The contents of this file is viewed in the syslog. Monitor Configuration File NOTE: Modifying the Monitor logging configuration file can disable or disrupt logging functionality. Make a copy of the file before attempting any modifications. -
Page 44: Events
To enable or disable the SNMP server, under the “[SHMSYSTEM]” section, if SNMP value is ON, the SNMP server runs; if the value does not exist or is OFF, the server is disabled. NOTE: After any changes are made to the SNMP configuration file, stop and start the service or daemon for changes to take effect. - Page 45 • In Linux, the file is located at: /opt/dell/ServerHardwareManager/bin. Under the [SHMSYSTEM] section of the file, add or edit the entry 3060eLEDControl. • To turn the behavior on: 3060eLEDControl=ON. • To turn the behavior off: 3060eLEDControl=OFF. NOTE: If the 3060eLEDControl item is missing or blank, the behavior by default is off.

Page 46: The Dell Storage Enclosure Rest Api
The Dell Storage enclosure REST API The Server Hardware Management software v1.2 added support for the Representational State Transfer (REST) API. The REST service is accessible from a client device and from a Web browser. REST access is enabled by default. The Dell storage enclosures support the following REST operations: •... -
Page 47: Accessing The Rest Service
• To change the REST server listening IP or Port, under the “[SHMREST]” section of the configuration file, modify the IP value to indicate which IP and port the REST server must bind to. By default, the REST server binds to 127.0.0.1:8012. NOTE: Firewall services will most likely need to be modified in order to access the REST server from remote servers. -
