Hi, Currently we are running SCOM Management Pack 7.1 (latest version at the moment) and it seems that iDrac 9 is not supported yet. Is there a timeframe when this should be possible to monitor devices with iDrac 9 in SCOM? Br Karl
The page does have a different title, but the text body does describe it as "Dell EMC Server Management Pack 7.1 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager."
Servers having iDRAC9 can be monitored using the servers and rack workstation licensed/non-licensed monitoring features. These are not supported through the DRAC Monitoring feature.
Yes, sorry for the confusion. iDRAC9 has been referred to as 14G server in the 7.1 document. 14G servers have the iDRAC9 in them. DRAC Monitoring Management packs do not support discovery of these servers onwards.
Yes, You can monitor the Dell Servers having iDRAC 9 using Servers and Rack Workstation or the Servers and Rack workstation (licensed) monitoring features.
1. Servers and Rack Workstation monitoring feature:
This feature uses the SCOM agent based discovery of the node to be monitored. The node should be having the compatible Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node for Windows installed on the Windows Server OS.
This feature is available in the Dell EMS Server Management Pack Suite v7.1.1 as well as the Dell EMC OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager v7.1.1
2. Servers and Rack workstation (licensed) monitoring feature
a) This feature uses the SCOM agent based discovery of the node to be monitored. The node should be having the compatible Dell EMC iDRAC Service Module for Windows installed on the Windows Server OS. These managemnt packs are available in the Dell EMS Server Management Pack Suite v7.1.1 as well as the Dell EMC OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager v7.1.1.
b) Agent-less monitoring of the Dell EMC servers using the iDRAC IP, through WSMAN protocol. This capability is via the appliance-based solution - Dell EMC OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager v7.1.1.
