Monitoring features supported by DSMPS
The topics in this section describe the monitoring features that are supported by DSMPS for SCOM.
Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature in
DSMPS using OMSA
Dell EMC Servers and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature supports the discovery and monitoring of the following devices that
are installed with the supported Windows operating system, using OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA):
● PowerEdge Modular and PowerEdge Monolithic servers
● PowerVault servers
● Hardware monitoring of Dell EMC-branded or Dell EMC OEM Ready servers
● Dell Precision Racks
Inventory and monitoring of these devices is performed through the OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) application that
is installed on the servers—which is a license-free monitoring feature.
DSMPS automatically imports the scalable version of the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature into SCOM.
Management packs necessary for using the Server and Rack Workstation
Monitoring feature in DSMPS
After the Dell EMC Server Management Pack Suite management packs are imported successfully, the required management
packs are imported and should appear in the Administration pane of the SCOM console.
