Deploy and configure the OMIMSSC appliance for SCOM

To monitor Dell EMC devices and other monitoring applications in your data center, you can use Microsoft System Center—Operations Manager (SCOM) as a common interface by integrating with the OMIMSSC appliance. As an administrator, you must deploy and configure OMIMSSC, and then enroll the associated SCOM Management Servers.

High level deployment process of the OMIMSSC appliance:

  • Enroll SCOM Management Server(s) and Dell EMC Alert Relay Servers with OMIMSSC appliance for SCOM.
NOTE: To successfully enroll SCOM Management Servers with OMIMSSC and to install the Dell EMC management packs:
  • During deployment of OMIMSSC, ensure that you enable Synchronize guest time with host option on the VM.
  • While configuring OMIMSSC VM network settings, under IPv4 CONFIGURATION, if you assign a Static IP address, enter the IP address and save the changes. Re-open the Configure Network option on the CLI and change the hostname. See Configure OMIMSSC VM network settings.
