Management Station Requirements
Before importing the Dell™ EqualLogic™ Management Pack, install the
Dell EqualLogic Helper on the management station to discover the Dell
EqualLogic storage arrays.
If you import Dell EqualLogic Management Pack into SCOM without
installing the Dell EqualLogic Helper, SCOM does not discover the
EqualLogic devices.
Dell EqualLogic Helper
The Dell EqualLogic Helper performs classification, inventory retrieval, and
health monitoring of components. This utility is in the form of a .dll file
that is included in the management pack suite. It requires registration,
and is installed in the folder where you install the Dell EqualLogic
Management Pack.
The EqualLogic Management Suite installer installs
Dell EqualLogic Helper as a COM+ application for the EqualLogic
Management Pack to communicate with EqualLogic devices through a
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The EqualLogic
Management Pack uses this utility for inventory, classification, and
monitoring the health of EqualLogic devices. The EqualLogic Management
Pack cannot manage EqualLogic devices without the COM+ application.
