● The Operational Template column is displayed as Not Assigned, after the servers are discovered. To update firmware
and deploy operating system on these servers, assign and deploy Operational Templates. For more information, see Assign
Operational Template for servers and Deploy Operational Template for servers.
● The discovered servers are added to predefined groups in OMIMSSC. You can create custom update groups based on
functional requirements. For more information, see About update groups.
● The discovered servers are added to predefined groups in OMIMSSC. You can create custom update groups based on
functional requirements. For more information, see Update groups.
● When you log in to OMIMSSC as a delegated admin, you can view all the host and unassigned servers that are not specific to
this user. Hence, ensure that you have the required privileges before performing any operations on the servers.
● If there are multiple Microsoft consoles enrolled in OMIMSSC, and then host servers are specific to the Microsoft console
where they are managed. And the unassigned servers are common to all consoles.
iDRAC console
To launch iDRAC console, perform the following step:
In OMIMSSC, expand Configuration and Deployment, and select one of the following:Expand Configuration and
Deployment, and select one of the following:
● Click Server View. Based on the server (if it is a host or an unassigned server), click Unassigned Servers or Hosts tab,
and click the iDRAC IP address of the server.
The Unassigned Servers tab is displayed by default.
To view the hosts tab, click Hosts.
● Click Cluster View. Expand the cluster type and expand cluster group to server level.
The Server tab is displayed.
Modular Systems view
The Modular Systems View page lists all the Modular Systems that are discovered in OMIMSSC.
View the CMC IP address, service tag, model, firmware version, template compliance status of Modular System for an assigned
Operational Template, number of servers, Input/Output (I/O) Modules, and storage devices present on that Modular System.
Configure the hardware and update Modular System firmware, by deploying the Operational Template.
You can perform the following tasks on Modular Systems View page:
● Discover Modular Systems using manual discovery
● Delete Modular System
● To view latest inventory information, refresh the page.
● Assign Operational Template for Modular System
● Deploy Operational Template for Modular System
● View I/O modules
● Launching I/O modules
To view Modular System discovered in OMIMSSC:
1. In OMIMSSC, click Configuration and Deployment, and then click Modular Systems View.
All the Modular Systems discovered model names are displayed.
2. To view a specific Modular System, click a model name under Modular Systems View.
All the Modular Systems of that model are displayed with their service tag.
3. To view all devices present in that Modular System, click service tag.
All the servers, Input Output modules, and storage devices along with their details are displayed.
NOTE:
Only after a deep discovery of a Modular System, all devices in the Modular System and their information are
displayed.
● By default the Servers tab is displayed.
All the servers that are discovered in this Modular System are displayed.
● To view all the Input Output Modules present in a Modular System, click I/O Modules tab.
