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

Viewing Virtual Machines

The Dell VMM Storage Management Pack for SCOM discovers Storage Center virtual machines (VMs) managed by the System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). This management pack allows SCOM administrators to view and monitor Storage Center VMs, including Windows Hyper-V hosts.

Volumes can be mapped to a Hyper-V or VM in various ways. The following table provides a summary of connectivity supported as part of the VM discovery. For more information, see the Dell Storage Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager Release Notes.

In addition to discovering VMs and providing a standard list view, SCOM provides two types of diagram views:

• Virtual Machine Volume Diagram View
• VM Host Volume Diagram View

To open a VMM Discovery diagram view:

1. In the Dell Storage Center Monitoring folder, expand the VMM Discovery folder.
2. To view VM volumes, select Virtual Machine Volume Diagram View. The Virtual Machine Volume Diagram View pane opens.

   

3. To view VM host volumes, select VM Host Volume Diagram View. The VM Host Volume Diagram View pane opens.

   

4. Click the plus (+) or minus (-) sign on a VM node to expand or collapse its associated components.
5. (Optional) Right-click the VM node for a menu of applicable commands. For example, you can open the Object Properties dialog box, change the diagram view layout, and so on.
