alerts that are created within the OME application will become events and possibly
alarms within the OpenManage Network Manager system.
Common OME alerts include omeAlertSystemUp and omeAlertSystemDown. It is
possible to configure the OME application to forward alerts to the OpenManage Net-
work Manager application, which would eliminate the need to poll for such alerts. If
you configured the OME application with a rule to forward alerts to the OpenManage
Network Manager application, then it is recommended that you do not select this
option.
• Auto-Sync OME when selected along with the Enabled option, the OpenManage
Network Manager application automatically synchronizes to all devices that the OME
application has under management.
When you save this configuration, the OpenManage Network Manager application
communicates with the OME application and creates managed resources correspond-
ing to every device in the OME inventory. The save also creates a recurring schedule
item is that periodically synchronizes the OME application with the OpenManage Net-
work Manager application.
• Enabled when selected, the OpenManage Network Manager application
communicates with the OME application.
If not selected, the OpenManage Network Manager application does not sync to the
OME application or poll for OME alerts. At any time, you can change the OME config-
uration from enabled to disabled or vice-versa.

7 Verify that OME managed devices now show in the Managed Resources portlet.
NOTE:
In most cases, the OME data shown in the Managed Resources portlet is the same as what shows in
OME product but there are some exceptions. For example, the OME application states that a device type
is Unclassified but the OMNM application considers the equipment type to be Server.
