The Streamvault™ Maintenance plugin is used to monitor the health of your Streamvault appliances and ensure you receive notifications when problems occur.
The Streamvault Maintenance plugin includes the following components:
- Streamvault role: Plugin role used to run either the hardware monitor or manager entity. One role per Streamvault appliance you need to monitor is required.
- Streamvault™ hardware monitor: Entity used to define the alert configurations for each Streamvault appliance.
- Streamvault™ Manager: Entity used to bulk-control configurations for a group of Streamvault appliances. Only one Streamvault Manager instance can be created.
- Streamvault™ hardware: Report task in Security Center used to view a list of health issues affecting your Streamvault appliances.
The plugin entity configurations consist of the following settings:
- Alert configurations: used to define the types of Events, level of Severity, and types of Notification that affect alerts addressing the health status' of your Streamvault servers.
- Email recipients: used to select which users and user groups receive email notifications.
- Remote management credentials: used to control the creation of user profiles in iDRAC.
-
iDRAC integration: used to exercise more precise control over credential
management. This feature can be found in the Management tab of
the plugin.IMPORTANT:
- iDRAC firmware must be at version 6.0 or later.
- The Streamvault Maintenance plugin accesses health data using out-of-band communication with iDRAC. This means that there must be a network connection between the iDRAC dedicated port and at least one LAN port if port sharing is not used. The dedicated iDRAC port is disabled by default.

- Configuration using iDRAC is not relevant for most users. For more information, contact the Streamvault product team.
