1 Overview This guide provides information to install, configure, and use the Dell EMC OpenManage Integration version 7.1 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). The integration of the Dell EMC OpenManage Integration for Microsoft system center version 7.1 with Microsoft System Center 2016 Operations Manager or Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 or Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1 Operations Manager environment enables you to manage, monitor, and ensure the availability of your Dell devices.
Term Refers to Integrated Dell Remote Access Controllers (iDRAC) iDRAC of Dell EMC PowerEdge Server, Dell branded OEM servers, and Dell OEM Ready servers, unless otherwise specified. iDRAC Service Module (iSM) iDRAC Service Module is a lightweight software that runs on the Server and complements iDRAC with monitoring information from the OS. The Service Module does not expose any new interfaces of its own, rather it complements iDRAC with additional data that users can work with using iDRAC consoles.
– Supported Dell Precision Racks – Supported Dell EMC devices through iDRAC using WS-MAN – Dell EMC Chassis Modular Server Correlation • View, analyze, and resolve alerts using Knowledge Base (KB) articles. • Perform various tasks on the discovered Dell EMC devices. • View reports for discovered Dell EMC devices.

Feature Description Dell EMC Chassis Monitoring Monitoring and inventory of Chassis devices such as M1000e, FX2, VRTX, MX7000 and OEM Ready chassis.
Change from Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for Operations Manager Until Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for Operations Manager; Dell Connections License Manager (DCLM) was required to manage licenses. For Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.1 and later, you do not require DCLM. There is no longer a license-count enforcement post DCLM being removed.
2 OMIMSSC components The following is the list of the OMIMSSC components and their names that have been used in this guide: • The OMIMSSC for Operations Manager is a virtual machine hosted on a Hyper-V. It is based on CentOS and performs the following tasks: – Interacts with the Dell EMC devices and the supported protocols are: ◦ Web Services-Management (WS-MAN) ◦ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) ◦ RedFish – The OMIMSSC can be administered through the Dell EMC OMIMSSC Admin Portal.
