Microsoft Guidelines for Performance and

Scalability for SCOM

For optimal performance, deploy the Dell MD Storage Array Management

Pack Suite version 4.0 on a dedicated management station.

NOTE: When you monitor a large number of MD storage arrays, there is a

possibility that the SCOM console could generate Script or executable (failed to

run/was dropped) warning alerts. To resolve this issue you must choose one of the

following options:

a. Disable all MD Storage Arrays unit monitors except the Dell MD Array Device

Status(Periodic) unit monitor. For more information on unit monitors, see "Unit

Monitors".

b. Scale up the number of management stations to monitor the large number of MD

storage arrays.

For information on Microsoft’s recommendations for scalability, see the

Microsoft website at http://technet.microsoft.com/hi-

in/library/bb735402(en-us).aspx

NOTE: Ensure that the Autogrow option is enabled in Operations Manager Data

Warehouse and/ or Database.

Upgrading From Previous Management Packs

Upgrading from the previous management pack is not supported. Ensure you

delete Dell Storage Arrays Management Pack 3.1.x

(Dell.Connections.StorageArray.mp) before importing the Dell MD Storage

Arrays Management Pack Suite version 4.0.
