• Scalable Server Management Pack
The Scalable Server Management Pack models the components at a high
level (up to the group level). The components that are included in the top
rectangle in Figure 1-1 are modeled by Scalable Server Management Pack.
For example, the Memory component is modeled upto the Memory group
level. The Memory Unit instances are not modeled by this Management
Pack.
To know the exact instance level instrumentation details of the
managed system in an Enterprise Datacenter when using the
Scalable Server Management Pack, launch the Dell OpenManage™
System Administrator.
Rules, Tasks, and Monitors for the modeled components are defined in
this Management Pack. Informational Alerts are by default disabled in
this Management Pack.
Scalable Management Pack is useful in scenarios where you have a priority
to scale to a large SCOM environment. Dell recommends to use this
Management Pack when the number of managed systems exceeds 300
units.

this Management Pack and this model is attached to the Memory group
modeled in Scalable Server Management Pack. Informational Alerts are by
default disabled in this Management Pack.
