Install Dell EMC Windows Server Agent-based and
iDRAC7 or iDRAC8 SNMP Management Pack on
multiple SCOM Management Servers
Steps
1. Import the management packs by using the Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard or the SCOM Import
Management Pack wizard on any of the SCOM Management Server. SCOM automatically distributes the management
packs to all the Management Servers.
2. To receive traps, add the Management Server that is used for discovering the Dell EMC devices to the Dell EMC device’s
trap destination list.
NOTE: Trap destination is automatically configured for the Dell EMC devices that are discovered and monitored through
Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature. To be able to receive SNMP alerts from devices
discovered through the iDRAC access via the Host OS feature, you must install SNMP services on the Managed Node
and set the Management Server IP address as the trap destination in the SNMP Services.
