Collaborative Diagnosis
Once Dell OpenManage Network Manager notifies you about a network problem with Fault
Management - Problem Diagnosis or Create Reports, you can consult with other network experts
through Dell OpenManage Network Manager’s built-in chat system. You can even meet online
with more than one user, and share the problem report, or alarm. See Status Bar Alerts on page 75
and Sharing on page 87 of the Dell OpenManage Network Manager
User Guide
for the specifics
about how to do this.
Some examples of easy solutions provided by chat:
•
You cannot use an FTP server. Asking a coworker with Dell OpenManage Network Manager’s
chat reveals it is out of commission. Because you can share specific servers as a chat
attachment, there’s never a question about which server you are discussing.
•
Confirm the format of a report. Again, attaching the report to chat lets coworkers see exactly
what you are talking about, and quickly.
•
You can similarly attach schedules to chat to make sure everyone agrees they are correct.
•
What you can do with a single chat session is also true of Dell OpenManage Network
Manager’s “conferences” which amount to collaborative chat sessions, attended by more than
one other person.
