Using Dell Smart Plug-in (SPI)
This chapter discusses the various operations that you can perform after you
install the Dell™ SPI on the HP Operations Manager (HPOM) management
server.
Features
After you deploy the policies on the management server you can:
• Group all the Dell systems present under the managed or unmanaged
nodes with the supported Windows operating systems, under the
Dell
Managed Systems
group in the HPOM console.
• Process Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps generated
by Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator (OMSA) and OpenManage
Storage Systems (OMSS) running on Dell systems.
• Periodically monitor the global system health of Dell systems grouped
under the
Dell Managed Systems group.
• Launch Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator (OMSA) web console
as a tool from the HPOM console for troubleshooting the alerts.
After you install the Dell SPI on the HPOM management server, you can see
the policy files under Policy Management → Policy Groups → SPI for Dell
Devices on the HPOM console.
Deploying the Policies Automatically
You can choose to deploy the Dell SPI policies on the management server
when you install the Dell SPI.
If you automatically deploy the policies, the policies run as per the default
schedule.
