About Dell EMC Server Management Pack
Suite (DSMPS) for SCOM
The Dell EMC Server Management Pack Suite (DSMPS) is a management pack suite for SCOM that enables agent-based
discovery and monitoring of PowerEdge servers, rack workstations, and iDRACs through OMSA or by using iSM-WMI. The
management packs provide the Dell EMC-specific views that you can use to observe and analyze the device status in a network.
DSMPS for SCOM is a self-extracting executable file—Dell_EMC_Server_Management_Pack_Suite_<Version>_xx.exe—
where, xx is the server management pack suite version release number. You can download the executable file and the latest
documents from the Dell Technologies support site.
CAUTION: You must perform the tasks that are described in this user's guide only if you have firsthand working
experience with the supported SCOM console versions and in using Microsoft Windows operating system. Else,
it can result in lost or corrupted data.
Monitoring features supported by DSMPS for SCOM
DSMPS for SCOM enables you to discover and classify the following Dell EMC devices:
● Dell EMC PowerEdge servers—Using the Dell EMC Servers and Rack Workstations Monitoring feature (OMSA agent-based
and iSM using WMI).
NOTE:
Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature supports monitoring of PowerEdge servers having
Windows Server operating systems.
NOTE: Discovery using iSM-WMI feature would remain same as SCOM native discovery using management packs.
● Dell Remote Access Controllers
● Supported Dell Precision Racks
Comparing the monitoring features offered by DSMPS and
OMIMSSC appliance for SCOM
● Discovery and monitoring features offered by DSMPS
○ Discovery and monitoring of PowerEdge 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).
●
Discovery and monitoring features offered by OMIMSSC for SCOM
○ Discovery and monitoring of PowerEdge Servers and Rack Workstations using iDRAC agent-free discovery, Chassis, and
Network Switches.For more information about deploying and using the OMIMSSC appliance for SCOM, see the Dell EMC
OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center for System Center Operations Manager User's Guide on the
support site.
