Discovering servers and synchronizing with
MSSC console
Discovery is the process of adding supported PowerEdge bare-metal server or host servers in OMIMSSC, and synchronization with MSSC
console allows you to add host servers from SCCM or SCVMM console into OMIMSSC.

• About reference server conguration
• Discovering servers in OMIMSSC
• Server discovery in OMIMSSC console extension for SCCM
• Server discovery in OMIMSSC console extension for SCVMM
• System requirements for managed systems
• Discovering servers using auto discovery
• Discovering servers using manual discovery
• Synchronizing OMIMSSC console extensions with enrolled SCCM
• Synchronizing OMIMSSC console extension with enrolled SCVMM
• Synchronizing with enrolled MSSC
• Resolving synchronization errors
• Deleting servers from OMIMSSC
• Launching iDRAC console
About reference server conguration
A server conguration with a preferred boot sequence, BIOS, RAID settings, hardware conguration, rmware update attributes, and
operating system parameters that is ideally suited for an organization is called reference server conguration.
Discover a reference server by capturing these settings in an Operational Template, and replicate it across dierent servers with same
hardware conguration.
Discovering servers in OMIMSSC
You can discover hosts and unassigned servers in OMIMSSC. The discovered servers information is saved in the OMIMSSC database.
Consider the following points after discovering a server:
• The discovered server is added to the Hosts or Unassigned tab in the Conguration and Deployment page of OMIMSSC.
• The discovered server is marked as hardware compatible when it contains supported versions of LC rmware, iDRAC, and BIOS to
work with OMIMSSC. For information about the supported versions, see OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center
Release Notes.
• A license is consumed for the discovered server.
The Licensed Nodes count in License Center page decreases as the number of servers are discovered.
• When you discover a PowerEdge server with an operating system deployed on it, and the server is already present in SCCM or
SCVMM console, then the server is listed as a host server under the Hosts tab in OMIMSSC console extensions where the discovery
job is initiated.
