Overview of OMIMSSC
The OMIMSSC for Operations Manager is packaged as a .vhd file that can be deployed on a virtual machine that is hosted
on a Hyper-V. The OMIMSSC enables the discovery, inventory, and health monitoring of servers that are discovered through
WS-MAN, Modular systems(Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000), and Network Switches. It is based on CentOS. This interacts with
the Dell EMC devices and can be administered through the Dell EMC OMIMSSC Admin Portal.
When the OMIMSSC is set up and the network is configured, the System Center Operations Manager user can easily perform
the enrollment. Ensure that the provided prerequisites are met where configuration Management pack is downloaded and
imported into the System Center Operations Manager. All the Management packs are autoimported at the backend.
Integrate OMIMSSC with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) for monitoring Dell EMC devices in data
center. When you do the discovery from the OMIMSSC, you can view the discovered Dell EMC devices in the OpenManage
Integration Dashboard in Operations Manager console. You can perform configurations for the monitoring levels, monitoring
interval and performance metrics for the devices in this Dashboard.
The OMIMSSC is a simplified discovery solution template for monitoring different kind of Dell EMC devices like Dell EMC
PowerEdge Servers, Chassis, Network Switches and any future Storage solutions.
