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

PDF

Using the Windows Management Instrumentation Provider

During discovery, the Dell Storage Management Pack looks for target hosts in the SCOM Management Group that have the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Provider installed.

NOTE:The Dell Storage Management Pack discoveries run every 4 hours by default. Initial discoveries of instances of the management pack classes might take up to 4 hours.

Install the WMI Provider on the same server as the Storage Manager Data Collector. Installing the WMI Provider on a standalone computer is recommended only if one of the following conditions applies:

  • The WMI Provider will be connected to multiple Data Collectors.
  • Installing the WMI Provider on the same computer as the Data Collector will cause a performance impact. A performance impact could be caused by computing resource issues (CPU and memory) or a large number of discovered components.
