Overview
Dell OpenManage™ DAE-MON (Disk Array
Enclosure Monitor) lets you monitor the Dell PowerVault™ 250F and 251F Disk-Array
Enclosure (DAE) storage systems connected to a Microsoft®, Windows NT®, host,
called a server. The PowerVault™ 250F storage system consists of one rackmount DAE. The
PowerVault™ 251F storage system consists of one deskside DAE.
DAE-MON runs on the server to which the
DAEs are connected.

To determine the status of the DAEs
connected to the server, DAE-MON periodically polls each DAE, and gathers any alarms or
events that the DAEs have generated. Each time it polls a DAE, it updates the status
information that it stores for the DAE. You can view this status information by opening
the DAE-MON windows. These windows contain either an icon for each DAE being monitored, an
icon for each of the customer-replaceable units (CRUs) that make up a DAE, or information
about the state of a CRU.
