Discovering A Dell Server In OpsMgr
Dell servers are discovered through the OpsMgr Agent Management infrastructure.
The Dell server should be discovered in the Agent Managed view under the Administration section of the OpsMgr console.
To discover a Dell server:
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 Windows computers and follow the instructions on the screen.
For more information, see the OpsMgr documentation at technet.microsoft.com.
NOTE:
The installer automatically imports the Server In-band monitoring feature management packs into the
OpsMgr. If the installer fails to install the management packs then, import the management packs to OpsMgr using
the OpsMgr Import Management Packs wizard or the Feature Management Dashboard.
NOTE: Dell servers that do not have Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) installed, or have OMSA earlier
than version 6.4 are grouped as Dell Unmanaged.
