1 About this guide This user's guide provides information about how to deploy, configure, and efficiently monitor Dell EMC devices and applications in your data center by using the Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center (OMIMSSC) for System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) appliance. This guide supports the SCOM documentation that is delivered by Microsoft and is not intended to describe all the operations you can perform by using different features of SCOM.
2 About Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center (OMIMSSC) for System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) Microsoft System Center—Operations Manager (SCOM) enables you to monitor devices and applications in your data center.
OMIMSSC architecture overview Figure 1. Architecture of the OMIMSSC appliance Key features of OMIMSSC Table 1. Key features with descriptions of OMIMSSC (continued) Features Description License center Manage OMIMSSC licenses from the Dell EMC OMIMSSC Admin Portal.
Table 1. Key features with descriptions of OMIMSSC Features Description ● SNMP traps for devices that are discovered through WS-Man of Servers and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature. Dell EMC Chassis monitoring feature Support for the following by using the OpenManage Integration Dashboard: ● Discovery and monitoring of Dell EMC Chassis, and Dell OEM Ready chassis devices. ● Discovery of server modules and chassis slot summary for CMC chassis. ● SNMP traps for Chassis devices.
● ● ● ● ● ○ Discovery and monitoring that is offered by DSMPS—Discovery and monitoring of servers and rack workstations using software-based agent (OMSA) or through iSM (for iSM-based discovery, the iDRAC license are imported to the iDRAC console which is per node). NOTE: The discovery of the iSM licensed would remain same as SCOM native discovery using DSMPS management packs corresponding to this monitoring feature. Compare the licensed features.
● Support for hardware monitoring of PowerEdge XE2420 server using the Server and Rack Workstation (Licensed)—iDRAC agent-free monitoring. ● Support for backing up and restoring data about the OMIMSSC appliance. ● Service pack update feature is enhanced with an auto-update of applicable Dell EMC management packs that have been imported previously in the SCOM console, appliance kernel RPMs, and application RPMs. OMIMSSC can be updated by using online repository.
3 Purchase and manage OMIMSSC license The Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature in OMIMSSC is licensed. Licenses must be purchased based on the number of nodes that you want to monitor. A node is a server which is monitored by using the iDRAC IP (agent-free, using WS-Man) or iSM (agent-based, using WMI).
Check the usage of your OMIMSSC license To view the PowerEdge servers that are managed by Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature for SCOM: 1. In the left pane of the SCOM console, select Monitoring. 2. Expand Dell EMC > Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard. The number of nodes that are consumed is displayed in the Total Node Count column.
4 Port information and Communication Matrix for OMIMSSC appliance To connect the OMIMSSC appliance with the applications and devices that must be monitored by OMIMSSC, you must ensure that certain ports, protocols, and communication networks are available and enabled on OMIMSSC and the SCOM management server. Table 2.
