Discover devices and sync servers with
OMIMSSC console
Discovery is the process of adding supported modular systems and PowerEdge bare-metal servers or host servers or nodes in to
OMIMSSC.
Sync with MSSC console is the process of adding host servers from registered Microsoft console (MECM or SCVMM) in to
OMIMSSC. Hence, using any one of the processes, you can add devices in to OMIMSSC . Only after discovering the devices,
you can manage them in OMIMSSC.
Topics:
• Discover devices in OMIMSSC
• Sync of OMIMSSC console extension with enrolled MECM
• Resolve sync errors
• View System Lockdown Mode
Discover devices in OMIMSSC
Discover MX7000 Modular Systems, hosts, and unassigned servers in OMIMSSC. Information about discovered devices is saved
in OMIMSSC Appliance.
Using the following methods, you can discover Dell EMC servers using their iDRAC IP address:
● Discovering servers using auto discovery
● Discovering servers using manual discovery
NOTE:
The discovered device is marked as hardware compatible when it contains supported versions of LC firmware,
iDRAC, and BIOS that are required to work with OMIMSSC. For information about supported versions, see OpenManage
Integration for Microsoft System Center Release Notes.
Discover Modular Systems with device IP address using Discovering modular systems using manual discovery method.
Device discovery in OMIMSSC console extension for MECM
Discover devices in OMIMSSC console extension for MECM. After discovering a server, the server is added to a predefined
group in OMIMSSC, and one of the following MECM predefined groups or collections—All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers
collection and Dell Imported Server collection that are created under the Device Collections.
If the discovered server is not present in MECM, or if there are no predefined groups or collections in MECM, the predefined
collections are created and the discovered server is and then added to the respective group.
Device discovery in OMIMSSC console extension for SCVMM
Discover Modular Systems, hyper-V hosts, and unassigned servers in OMIMSSC console extension for SCVMM. After discovery,
the devices are added to respective predefined update groups.
Prerequisites for discovering devices
Managed systems are the devices that are managed using OMIMSSC. The system requirements for discovering servers using
OMIMSSC console extensions are as follows:
● OMIMSSC console extension for MECM supports modular, monolithic, and tower server models on 12
th
and later generations
of servers.
