The PowerEdge MX9002m module hosts the OpenManage Enterprise Modular (OME-M) console. OME-M is
the latest addition to the Dell OpenManage Enterprise suite of tools and provides a centralized management
interface for the PowerEdge MX platform. OME-M console features include:
• End-to-end lifecycle management for servers, storage, and networking
• A touch LCD for initial setup and error notification
• Leverages iDRAC9 intelligent automation and security features
• Manages one or multiple chassis from a single web or REST API leveraging multi-chassis
management (MCM) groups
• OpenManage Mobile for configuration and troubleshooting including wireless server vKVM
• Creation and deployment of SmartFabric topologies
6.1 PowerEdge MX9002m module cabling
Multiple PowerEdge MX9002m modules are grouped to form domains called MCM groups. A single MCM
group can include up to 10 chassis, where one is the lead and the remaining chassis are members. The
OpenManage Enterprise Modular console supports a daisy chain topology using the redundant 1GbE ports
on the MX9002m module.
An MCM group includes the following features:
• Provides the rollup health status of the OME-M chassis group
• Automatically propagates lead chassis settings to member chassis
In addition to the two MX7000s each having a single connection to the S3048-ON management switch,
additional inter-chassis cabling is shown in Figure 16. These additional 1GbE cables provide redundancy to
all available MMs in both chassis. Table 4 lists each Mx90002 module and its associated connections.
