Upgrading DSMPS
If you are using Dell EMC Server Management Pack Suite (DSMPS) version 7.1.1 then you can either upgrade to:
● Latest version of the OMIMSSC appliance.
● Latest version of DSMPS (using an installer).
Topics:
• Upgrade DSMPS to latest version of OMIMSSC
• Upgrade from previous versions of DSMPS
Upgrade DSMPS to latest version of OMIMSSC
While upgrading to the latest version of OMIMSSC appliance from DSMPS version 7.0, do the following:
1. Set up the OMIMSSC appliance by deploying the VHD file on a Hyper-V VM.
2. Enroll the Management Server with the OMIMSSC appliance. Wait for few minutes until the management packs are
upgraded.
NOTE:
To plan for the number of proxy management servers that are required, see the Scalability with OpenManage
Integration with Microsoft System Center for System Center Operations Manager technical white paper on the support
site.
3. Open the OpenManage Integration Dashboard and perform the Synchronize with MSSC operation from the respective
device view to synchronize the devices that are discovered in the SCOM console. For example, to synchronize the SMASH
devices that are discovered in SCOM:
a. Go to the Server View in the Dell EMC OpenManage Integration Dashboard.
b. Click Synchronize with MSSC.
Synchronizing with MSSC operation also synchronizes the proxy management server information that is added to the
DellProxyMSGroup.
CAUTION:
Ensure to add the required number of proxy management servers when you want to scale to large
number of devices.
NOTE: Performance metrics that are generated from Dell EMC Servers and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature, which is
discovered through the WS-Man protocol in the 7.0 views, are not retained.
Upgrade from previous versions of DSMPS
NOTE: The feature to upgrade DSMPS version 6.3 to DSMPS version 7.1 and later is not supported.
The installer detects the features that are installed from DSMPS version 7.0, and automatically upgrades the DSMPS to version
7.1 and later.
NOTE:
The installer may display a message prompting a restart of the MS after the upgrade is completed. Ignore the
message as restart is not required.
NOTE: The alerts generated for PowerEdge servers and Rack Workstations will be acknowledged.
NOTE: Low performance metrics will be retained after the upgrade.
