Dell EMC Server PRO Management Pack for Microsoft SCVMM

Contents: Overview - Download - Documentation

Overview

Operations Manager uses PRO-enabled Management Pack to collect and store information on the Dell hardware along with a description of their health status. Dell EMC Server PRO Pack works with SCOM and SCVMM to manage Dell physical devices and their hosted virtual machines (VMs) using this available health information.

Dell EMC Server PRO Pack recommends remedial actions when monitored objects transition to an unhealthy state (for example, virtual disk failure or predictive drive error), by using the monitoring and alerting capabilities of SCOM and remediation capabilities of SCVMM.

Key features:

• Performs PRO-management of PowerEdge systems running Microsoft Hyper-V platforms, by continually monitoring the health of the physical and virtual infrastructure.
• Works with SCOM and SCVMM to detect events such as loss of power supply redundancy, higher temperature than threshold values, system storage battery error, virtual disk failure, and so on.
• Generates PRO Tip when the monitored hardware moves to an unhealthy state.
• Performs VM live migration with no downtime.
• Minimizes downtime by implementing the remedial action provided on PRO Tips.

  The two remedial actions are:

  • Restrict: In this mode, it is recommended that servers are made temporarily unavailable for placing new VMs till the maintenance tasks are complete.
  • Restrict and migrate: In this mode, it is recommended that all running VMs are migrated from an unhealthy server to a healthy server to prevent loss of service.
