Scenario1: Devices discovery using Operations Manager (SMASH/Network Switch)
Dell EMC devices are discovered as SMASH devices or Network devices in the Operations Manager console. The
inputs for SMASH devices are provided in the SMASH monitoring wizard and for network switches in the network
device discovery wizard of the Operations Manager console.

Prerequisites to scale up the number of monitored devices using Proxy
MS:
1. Ensure that Proxy MS is discovered as an agent-based computer in the SCOM console.
NOTE: Ensure that the Proxy MS is hosted on a Management server that is part of the AMSRP.
2. Ensure that you do the following registry settings on each of the Proxy MS. Perform the below steps:
