8 Scalability with Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center (OMIMSSC) for System Center
Operations Manager (SCOM)
Use-case scenarios for configuring proxy management server on a management server that is
running on SCOM 2012 R2.
Monitoring Mode
Device Count
Number of Management Servers
Scalable
<=600
For minimum hardware recommendation for MS, DB, and the number of
management servers, set Number of Network Devices count to 2,000 in
Sizing Guide.
NOTE: This configuration is required for monitoring Dell devices that are
mentioned under Device count column.
Detailed
<=120
For minimum hardware recommendation for MS, DB, and the number of
Management Servers, set Number of Network Devices count to 2,000 in
Sizing Guide.
NOTE: This configuration is required for monitoring Dell devices that are
mentioned under Device count column.
1.7 Required configuration for SCOM 2016 and later
There are two different scenarios which must be addressed for the management servers and it also requires
specific configuration for Proxy MS.
• Devices discovered by using SCOM (SMASH / Network Devices)
• Devices discovered by using Dell EMC OpenManage Integration Dashboard (iDRAC, Chassis,
Network Switch)
Scenario 1: Devices discovered by using SCOM (SMASH/Chassis/Network Switch)
Dell EMC devices are discovered as SMASH devices, Chassis, or Network devices in the SCOM console.
The inputs for SMASH devices are provided in the SMASH monitoring wizard, and for chassis and network
switches in the respective device discovery wizards of the SCOM console.
NOTE: In the below table, value under the Number of Management Servers column is for minimum
hardware recommendation for MS, DB, and the number of Management Servers. These must be set by
following Microsoft SCOM Sizing Guide. Set Number of Network Devices to 2000. This configuration is
required for monitoring Dell devices that are mentioned under Device count column.
