Owner's Manual

10 Introduction
SCOM initially performs a network discovery on a given range of IP addresses.
On these network devices, the Dell EqualLogic Management Pack makes use
of the Dell EqualLogic Helper for classification and inventory, and uses the
Unit Monitors for monitoring the health of the devices.
Dell EqualLogic PS Series Arrays and Dell EqualLogic MP
The Dell EqualLogic PS series arrays include RAID-protected disks,
automatic disk sparing, redundant fans and power supplies, and dual high
performance control modules, each with multiple Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
and a battery-backed cache. You can create a group as the first member and
then add arrays to the existing group.
The EqualLogic management pack consists of:
• Members group : This consists of the various member arrays and groups
one or more arrays up to the group level with the details of the hardware
components, such as RAID controller, physical disk, power supply, and
network interface cards.
•
Volumes group : This provides volume information of the EqualLogic
group consisting of various EqualLogic member devices.
The management pack defines the rules, tasks, and monitors for the modeled
components.
