Install Guide

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

• Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature.

• Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature, if all the prerequisites are met.

• Dell Feature Management Pack. The Feature Management Dashboard is displayed under Monitoring → Dell on the

OpsMgr console. See the individual monitoring sections for importing the monitoring features.

NOTE: The Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) 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 of the Dell Device Helper Utility is C:\Program Files

\Dell Management Packs\Server Mgmt Suite\6.3\Library.

NOTE: The installer also extracts the management packs. To extract the management packs, run the installer on a

system with Windows client operating system.

A log file containing the installation information is generated after the installation of Dell Server Management Pack Suite. The log file

is available in the folder where

Dell_Server_Management_Pack_Suite.exe is extracted.

Installing Dell Server Management Pack Suite on multiple Management

Servers

To install Dell Server Management Pack Suite on multiple management servers:

1. Run the Dell_Server_Management_Pack_Suite.exe on all the required management servers that are part of the resource pools

used for the following monitoring features:

a. Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed)

b. Chassis Detailed Monitoring

c. Slot discovery in Chassis Scalable Monitoring

NOTE: Make sure that you have Dell Device Helper utility installed, as workflows of Server and Rack Workstation

Monitoring (Licensed) and Chassis Detailed monitoring features requires Dell Device Helper utility.

2. Import the Dell Server Management Packs using the Feature Management Dashboard or import the Management Packs using

the OpsMgr Import Management Pack wizard on any of the management servers. OpsMgr automatically distributes the

management packs to all the management servers.

3. To receive traps, add the management server used for discovering the Dell Device to the Dell device’s trap destination list.

NOTE: Trap destination is automatically configured for Dell devices discovered and monitored through Server and

Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature.

To be able to receive SNMP alerts from devices discovered through the iDRAC access via Host OS feature, you must

install SNMP services on the Managed Node and set the Management Server IP address as the trap destination in the

SNMP Services. For more information, see monitoring iDRAC access via Host OS in the Dell Server Management

Pack Suite Version 6.3 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager User's Guide.

Upgrading Dell Server Management Pack Suite from previous versions

You can upgrade to Dell Server Management Pack Suite version 6.3 using the installer.

Upgrading from Dell Server Management Pack Suite version 6.2

The installer detects the features installed from Dell Server Management Pack Suite version 6.2, and automatically upgrades the

Feature Management Pack to version 6.3.

NOTE: The installer may display a message prompting a restart after the upgrade is completed, ignore this message as

restart is not required.
