A server administrator wants to configure chassis power, thermal, and fans metric reports on a PowerEdge MX7000 chassis. Which type of license is required?

Question

Options

• AOME Enterprise
• BOME Essentials
• COME-M Base
• DOME-M Advanced

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  94% (32)

Explanation

OME-M Advanced is required because chassis-level metric reporting - including power, thermal, and fan data - is an advanced monitoring feature exclusive to the top-tier license tier for the MX7000 modular platform. The "M" in OME-M stands for Modular, meaning both OME-M licenses are purpose-built for the MX7000 chassis; OME-M Base only covers foundational management tasks and lacks advanced telemetry and reporting capabilities. OME Enterprise and OME Essentials are licenses for OpenManage Enterprise used with standard rack/tower/blade servers - they are not applicable to the MX7000 modular chassis at all, making A and B immediately wrong in this context.

Memory tip: Match the platform first, then the tier. MX7000 = OME-M (not standard OME). Then remember: detailed metrics = Advanced. "More data = more Advanced."
