Dell™ MD Storage Arrays
Management Pack Suite Operations
Overview
This chapter describes the various operations that you can perform on
Microsoft
®
Systems Center Operations Manager (SCOM) or Systems Center
Essentials (SCE) using the Dell MD Storage Arrays Management Pack Suite
version 4.0.
The MD Storage Arrays Management Pack allows you to perform the
following operations to manage
Dell PowerVault ™ MD3000/MD 3000i storage
arrays and PowerVault MD1000 storage arrays daisy-chained to
MD3000/MD3000i storage arrays:
• Discover and monitor the health of components and display alerts for Dell
PowerVault
MD3000/MD3000i storage arrays through out-of-band and
in-band using the host system’s IP address.
• Discover
PowerVault MD1000 storage arrays that are daisy-chained to the
PowerVault MD3000/MD3000i storage arrays.
• Manage alerts from PowerVault MD3000/MD3000i storage arrays.
Web Console
The Web Console server enables you to monitor and manage your Dell
devices with the MD Storage Arrays Management Pack using a browser
instead of the Operations Manager 2007 console. You can use the Web
console server without installing the Operations console. Using the Web
console has the following limitations:
• It provides only the Monitoring feature for all Management Packs.
• The
Personalize view is not available.
• Only the first 200 alerts are displayed in the
Alerts view.
NOTE: The Alert view is applicable only to SCOM 2007 R2 version.
