Upgrading from previous version of Dell EMC Server Management

Pack Suite to Dell EMC OMIMSSC latest version

While upgrading to the Dell EMC OMIMSSC latest version from Dell EMC Server Management Pack Suite version 7.0, perform

the following steps:

1. Set up the OMIMSSC appliance by deploying the .vhd file onto a virtual machine on a Hyper-V.

2. Perform enrollment of the Operations Manager in the OMIMSSC. Wait for few minutes until the management packs are

upgraded.

Management Server and Proxy MS with deployment scenarios for supported scalability.

device view to synchronize the devices that are discovered in the Operations Manager console. For example, to synchronize

the SMASH devices that are discovered in Operations Manager, go to the Server View in the Dell EMC OpenManage

Integration Dashboard and click on the Synchronize with MSSC button. A Synchronize with MSSC operation also

synchronizes the Proxy MS details that are added to the DellProxyMSGroup. For more information, see Adding Proxy MS to
