Overview
SCOM 2007/SCE 2007 uses PRO-enabled Management Pack to collect and
store information on Dell hardware along with a description of their health
status. Dell PRO Pack works with SCOM/SCE (henceforth, referred to as
Operations Manager) and SCVMM 2008 to manage Dell physical devices and
their hosted virtual machines using this available health information. Dell PRO
Pack recommends remedial actions when monitored objects transition to an
unhealthy state (for example, virtual disk failure or predictive drive error),
by leveraging the monitoring and alerting capabilities of Operations Manager
and remediation capabilities of SCVMM.
