You can customize the discovery of Dell EMC devices by overriding their discovery parameters, performance, and health
metrics. To override discovery parameters, performance, and health metrics, do the following on the OpenManage Integration
Dashboard:
Steps
1. In the left pane of SCOM, click Monitoring.
2. Click Dell EMC > Dell EMC OpenManage Integration Views > Dell EMC OpenManage Integration Dashboard.
3. Enter the credentials to log in to OpenManage Integration Dashboard. Enter the username in the format:
domain\username.
4. In the left pane, click Profiles and Configuration.
5. Select Profiles and Configuration.
The Discovery, Monitoring and Performance Overrides page is displayed. The discovery type and monitoring intervals
set on the available device types is displayed in the table.
6. Click Edit.
The Override discovery, monitoring and performance intervals dialog box is displayed.
7. Customize the monitoring settings by selecting or entering data in the fields:
a. Select the check box corresponding to the device type whose monitoring properties must be overridden.

Next steps
The recommended default intervals set by the OMIMSSC appliance for the different operations are:
● Discovery Interval—86400 seconds (24 hours)
● Health Interval—21600 seconds (6 hours)
● Metrics Interval—21600 seconds (6 hours)
It is recommended that these intervals are not changed to avoid any possible performance issues. However, if you want to
change these intervals, ensure that sufficient resources are reserved, and correct SQL Server design and sizing considerations
are followed. For more information, see the respective Microsoft documentation.
Key features of licensed monitoring of PowerEdge
servers in OMIMSSC
System configuration lockdown mode in iDRAC9 PowerEdge
servers
The System Configuration Lockdown mode feature is available for iDRAC9—based PowerEdge servers that lock the system’s
configuration, including firmware updates. After the System Configuration Lockdown Mode is enabled:
● You cannot change the system’s configuration. This feature is intended to protect the system from unintentional changes.
Using the iDRAC console, you can enable or disable the System Configuration Lockdown mode.
● You cannot configure the trap destination information in the servers. Therefore, alerts are not generated for monitoring. In
such a case, you are notified with a critical alert indicating that System Configuration Lockdown mode is enabled, and trap
destination information for alerts is not configured.
