Discovering devices and synchronizing
servers with MSSC console
Discovery is the process of adding supported modular systems and PowerEdge bare-metal servers or host servers or nodes in to
OMIMSSC.
Synchronization with MSSC console is the process of adding host servers from registered Microsoft console (SCCM 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:
• Discovering devices in OMIMSSC
• Synchronization of OMIMSSC console extension with enrolled SCCM
• Resolving synchronization errors
• Viewing System Lockdown Mode
•
Deleting servers from OMIMSSC
Discovering 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 SCCM
Discover devices in OMIMSSC console extension for SCCM. After discovering a server, the server is added to a predefined
group in OMIMSSC, and one of the following SCCM predefined 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 predefined groups or collections in SCCM, 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.
