The following are automatically imported after the installation of Dell Server Management Pack Suite:

• Agent-based monitoring feature.

• Agent-free monitoring feature, if prerequisites are complete.

• Dell Feature Management Pack. The Feature Management Dashboard is displayed under

Monitoring → Dell on the OpsMgr console. Refer to the individual monitoring sections for

importing the monitoring features.

NOTE: The Agent-free monitoring feature requires the installer to run on all the management

servers that are used to monitor the Dell servers. The installer registers the Dell Device Helper Utility

(COM+ application) on the management server. The default location is C:\Program Files\Dell

Management Packs\Server Mgmt Suite\6.1\Library.
