Dell Storage Management Pack Version 4.1 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager Administrator’s Guide

Configure the WMI Provider

After installing the WMI Provider, configure the provider to connect to the Storage Manager Data Collector.

1. Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\Dell Storage WMI Provider.
2. Double-click the Dell.Storage.Configurator.exe file to run the WMI Provider Configurator. The Dell Storage WMI Provider Configurator dialog box opens.

   

   NOTE:On rare occasions, a load failure might occur if the WMI Provider is installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled continuously over a short period. If the Dell Storage WMI Provider Configurator returns a load failure, run the following command: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_64\Dell.Storage.Instrumentation\v4.0_4.1.0.2__07519b417fc2eafb\Dell.Storage.Instrumentation.dll.
3. Select the Allow discovery of this provider from the Dell Storage Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager check box.
4. Click Add.
5. Type the Host Name or IP address of the Storage Manager Data Collector. The default number for the Port (3033) is input automatically.
6. Type the required information in the User Name and Password fields, and confirm the password for the Storage Manager Data Collector. The user must have administrator-level user privileges.
7. Click Test Connection to verify that the information provided for the Data Collector is correct. If the connection is not successful, verify the hostname and login credentials and then click Test Connection again.
8. After the connection is successful, click Save to save the entry.
9. Add the computer where the WMI Provider is installed to the SCOM Management Group. Dell Storage Management Pack will not discover the WMI Provider unless the computer is added to this group.
