Discovering DRAC Devices
The DRAC devices must be discovered as network devices 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 using 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.
