Dell Performance and Resource Optimization Management Pack (PROPack)
VMM 2008 integrates with the Dell OpenManage suite through Essentials
Server to simplify the management of Microsoft Hyper-V
®
virtualized
environments based on Dell Servers. This integration is based on
Dell PROPack capabilities that allow Dell OpenManage health alerts to pass
from Essentials to VMM 2008 as PROTIPS and recovery actions to be driven
from VMM 2008. Dell PROPack recovery actions minimize downtime of
critical services hosted on Dell server infrastructures. PROTIPS recommend
remediation actions, such as migration of virtual machines to a healthy host
or placing the host in to maintenance mode depending on the health state of
the server host.
Dell Server PROPack version 1.0 supports systems running Windows Server
2008 x64 based Hypervisors by continuously monitoring the health of
virtual environment.
With the integrated solution, administrators can use a single console to
help centralized management of physical resources and virtualized
business services.
