Configuring Dell Chassis Management Controller feature for
Correlating Server Modules with Chassis Slot Summary
To configure CMC feature for correlating server modules, create Run As Accounts and associate it to Run As Profiles to populate
chassis slot summary.
1. Create a Run As Account of type Simple Authentication that has privileges to connect to the CMC module on the chassis.
Also, use Basic or Digest Run As Account types for configuring the user credentials.
2. Select the More Secure or Less Secure option in Run As Account configuration, so that you can selectively distribute the
configuration to specific management servers.
For information on creating a Run As Account of type Simple Authentication, see the “Creating A Simple Authentication Run
As Account” section of Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.3 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
User's Guide at dell.com/OMConnectionsEnterpriseSystemsManagement.
NOTE: Add the Server Management Action account to the OpsMgr administrator group.
3. Associate the created Run As Accounts with the Dell CMC Login Account profile and select the appropriate class, group, or
object on which you can configure the profile.
• To enable slot summary discovery for CMC, override the enable property to True in Dell CMC Slot Discovery. It is disabled
by default.
NOTE: After the slot discovery, if you remove the link between Run As Account with Run As Profile, or disable the
slot-discovery workflow, the discovered slots remain with old data.

The following table lists the Chassis monitoring tasks available on the Feature Management Dashboard. Some tasks listed in the
Feature Management tasks table appear only after you have imported the Chassis monitoring feature.
