Discovering DRAC Devices
The DRAC devices must be discovered in the Agent Managed view under the Administration section of the OpsMgr
console.
To discover DRAC devices:
1. Log on to the management server as an OpsMgr administrator.
2. On the OpsMgr console, click Administration.
3. At the bottom of the navigation pane, click Discovery Wizard.
4. Run the Discovery Wizard, select Network devices and follow the instructions on the screen.
For more information, see the OpsMgr documentation at technet.microsoft.com.
5. On the Add a Device console screen in OpsMgr 2012, type the IP address that you want to scan, select the
appropriate Run As account from the SNMP V1 or V2 Run As account drop-down box.
6. Enable the DRAC Monitoring feature through Feature Management Dashboard.
Scalability Recommendation For OpsMgr 2012
When managing large number of network devices in a distributed setup, use dedicated resource pools of Management
Servers for each device type, if the same Management Group is also used to manage agent-based devices.
1. Create a dedicated resource pool to manage each type of network device such as CMC and DRAC.
2. Add the Management Servers that manage a particular type of network-device to the corresponding resource pool.
3. Remove these Management Servers from All Management Servers resource pool.
