NOTE: The discovered device is marked as hardware compatible when it contains supported versions of LC rmware, 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 SCCM
Discover devices in OMIMSSC console extension for SCCM. After discovering a server, the server is added to a predened group in
OMIMSSC, and one of the following SCCM predened groups or collections—All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers collection and Import
Dell Server collection that are created under the Device Collections.
If the discovered server is not present in SCCM, or if there are no predened groups or collections in SCCM, the predened 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 predened update groups.
System requirements for managed systems
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 SCCM supports modular, monolithic, and tower server models on 11
th
and later generations of servers.
• OMIMSSC console extension for SCVMM supports modular and monolithic server models on 11
th
and later generations of servers.
• For source conguration and destination conguration, use same type of disks—only Solid-state Drive (SSD), SAS, or only Serial ATA
(SATA) drives.
• For successful hardware prole RAID cloning, for destination system disks, use same or greater size and number of disks as present in
the source.
• RAID sliced virtual disks are not supported.
• iDRAC with shared LOM is not supported.
• RAID congured on external controller is not supported.
• Enable Collect System Inventory on Restart (CSIOR) in managed systems. For more information, see iDRAC documentation.
Discovering servers using auto discovery
To automatically discover servers, connect servers to the network and power on the servers. OMIMSSC auto discovers the unassigned
servers by using the remote enablement feature of iDRAC. OMIMSSC works as a provisioning server and uses iDRAC reference to auto
discover servers.
1 In OMIMSSC, create a device type credential prole by providing the iDRAC credentials and make it as default for servers. For
information about creating a credential prole, see Creating a credential prole.
2 Disable the existing Administrator account in iDRAC settings in the managed device.
NOTE
: It is recommended that you have a guest user account with operator privileges to log in to iDRAC in case auto
discovery fails.
3 Enable the auto discovery feature in managed device’s iDRAC settings. For more information, see iDRAC documentation.
4 In managed device's, iDRAC Settings, provide OMIMSSC Appliance IP in provision server IP, and then restart the server.
