About this task
The Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard enables you to view the available Dell EMC Windows Server Agent-based
and iDRAC7 or iDRAC8 SNMP Management Pack monitoring features and then configure them automatically for importing,
upgrading, and removing the Dell EMC management packs required by a feature. In a distributed setup (including distributed
resource pool in SCOM 2012), the Management Server, where Dell EMC Windows Server Agent-based and iDRAC7 or iDRAC8
SNMP Management Pack is installed first, is selected to host all the feature-based management activities.
To import the monitoring features:
Steps
1. Start the SCOM console.
2. In the left pane, select Monitoring.
3. Expand Dell EMC > Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard.
On the Dell Technologies Feature Management Dashboard page, you can view the list of Dell EMC monitoring features
installed, the version currently in use, the version you can upgrade to, the level of monitoring, total nodes used by the
current license, and the licenses required, if any.
