BMC in SC2012 VMM (for more information, see MSDN article at technet.microsoft.com), and
then synchronize the appliance with SC2012 VMM.
• SC2012 VMM R2 supports numerous hosts in the environment, due to which synchronization is a long
running task. Synchronization occurs as follows:
a. Hosts listed in SC2012 VMM environment are added to the hosts tab in appliance.
b. If host servers deleted from SC2012 VMM environment are resynchonised, then host servers are
moved to the unassigned tab in the appliance during resynchronization. If a server is
decommissioned, then remove that server from the list of unassigned servers.
c. If a server is listed as an unassigned server and manually added to SCVMM, then after
synchronization the server is added in to the hosts tab in the appliance.
d. If a host server belongs to a Hyper-V cluster, then the cluster details are available in the device
inventory. The host server is added or moved to the cluster update group.
e. If a host is a modular server, then the chassis service tag of the chassis containing the modular
server is added to the device inventory page. If the modular server does not belong to a Hyper-V
cluster, the host server is added or moved into the chassis update group.
f. Any changes to the host inventory details such as hostname, iDRAC IP address, memory, cluster
membership, and so on are updated in device inventory.
g. DLCI for SCVMM can provide the latest firmware inventory information. If a default update
source is provided, then the firmware inventory is compared against the update source and the
latest information is added to the update group.
Synchronizing with DLCI for SC2012 VMM
To perform a synchronization:
In DLCI for SC2012 VMM , click Device Inventory, and then click Synchronize with SCVMM.
Resolving synchronization errors
The servers that are not synchronized with appliance are listed with their iDRAC IP address and host
name.
Consider the following when you are resolving synchronization errors:
• For servers that are not synchronized due to credentials, iDRAC, connectivity, or other issues; Resolve
credentials, iDRAC, connectivity, or other issues respectively, and then resynchronize.
To resynchronize the servers:
1. In DLCI Console Add-in for SC2012 VMM, click Device Inventory and then click Resolve Sync
Errors.
2. Select the servers you want to synchronize and select the credential profile or create a new
credential profile.
3. Provide a job name and select the Go to the Job List to view the job status, and then click Finish.
Launching iDRAC Console
To launch iDRAC Console:
In Device Inventory, under Unassigned Servers or Hosts, for a server, click the iDRAC IP.
