Configuration planning for Management Server and
Proxy MS with deployment scenarios for supported
scalability
The Dell EMC devices can be discovered in the Operations Manager console and Dell EMC OMIMSSC console. One instance of
Dell EMC OMIMSSC provides support to only one Management Group(MG) for discovery and monitoring of devices.
You can configure the Management Server and Proxy MS as per the deployment scenarios that is required for your
environment.
Table 5. Deployment Scenario for Operations Manager 2012 R2
Monitoring Mode Device Count Number of Management Servers
Scalable
<=600 For 2000 network devices, see Sizing Guide for
required number of Management Servers.
Detailed
<=120 For 2000 network devices, see Sizing Guide for
required number of Management Servers.
NOTE: For Operations Manager 2012 SP1, OMIMSSC is not supported.
In a Management Group, for scalable mode you can configure five Management Servers where each Management Server can be
connected to four Proxy MS and each Proxy MS can support 250 devices which indicate that under one Management Group,
you can scale up to max 5000 nodes.
For detailed mode, each Management Server can be connected to two Proxy MS and each Proxy MS can support 30 devices.
Table 6. Deployment Scenario for Operations Manager 2016
Scenario1: Devices discovery using Operations Manager (SMASH/Network Switch)
Dell EMC devices are discovered as SMASH devices or Network devices in the Operations Manager console. The inputs for
SMASH devices are provided in the SMASH monitoring wizard and for network switches in the network device discovery
wizard of the Operations Manager console.
