Discovering Dell Server in OpsMgr

Dell servers are discovered through the OpsMgr Agent Management infrastructure.

NOTE: Discover Dell server 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 Agent-based monitoring feature management

packs into the OpsMgr. If the installer fails to install the management packs, then, import the

management packs 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 unsupported OMSA versions are grouped as Dell Unmanaged.
