Overview of Dell EMC OMIMSSC
The Dell EMC OMIMSSC for Operations Manager is packaged as:
● A .vhd file that can be deployed on a virtual machine that is hosted on a Hyper-V.
● An .ova file that can be deployed on a virtual machine that is hosted on a VMware ESXi version 6.5, 6.7 and 7.0.
The Dell EMC OMIMSSC enables the discovery, inventory, health monitoring, performance metrics monitoring, and alert
monitoring of servers and rack workstations that are discovered through iDRAC using WS-MAN, Chassis or Modular systems
including Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000, and Network Switches. It is based on CentOS. This interacts with the Dell EMC
devices and can be administered through the Dell EMC OMIMSSC Admin Portal.
When the Dell EMC OMIMSSC is set up and the network is configured, the System Center Operations Manager user can
perform the enrollment. Ensure that the provided prerequisites are met where configuration Management pack is downloaded
and imported into the System Center Operations Manager. All the Management packs are autoimported at the back-end.
Integrate Dell EMC OMIMSSC with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) for monitoring Dell EMC devices in
data center. When you do the discovery from the OMIMSSC appliance, you can view the discovered Dell EMC devices in the
Dell EMC OpenManage Integration Dashboard on the Operations Manager console. You can perform configurations for the
monitoring levels, monitoring interval, and performance metrics for the devices in this Dashboard.
The Dell EMC OMIMSSC is a simplified discovery solution template for monitoring different kind of Dell EMC devices like Dell
EMC PowerEdge Servers, Chassis, Network Switches, and any future Storage solutions.
