Consoles for OpenManage Integrations for Microsoft System Center

OpenManage Integrations for Microsoft System Center supports native management of PowerEdge servers and Dell Technologies Solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI. Console-based offerings are available for integration with Microsoft System Center consoles: (1) Operations Manager, (2) Endpoint Configuration Manager, and (3) Virtual Machine Manager
OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager is an extension that enables monitoring devices and applications in a data center with the Microsoft System Center—Operations Manager (SCOM) console. The Dell Technologies OMIMSSC appliance is an integration with Microsoft SCOM to discover, inventory, monitor health, and generate performance metrics and alerts of Dell Technologies PowerEdge servers and rack workstations that are discovered through the agent-free iDRAC using WS-Man, Chassis or modular systems (including PowerEdge MX7000), and network switches. Legacy management packs can perform agent-based monitoring of PowerEdge servers and rack workstations by using iDRAC Service Module an OMSA agent. 
OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center for Endpoint Configuration Manager, formerly System Center Configuration Manager, provides agent-free, OS-, and hypervisor-agnostic configuration and deployment as well as uniform BIOS and firmware updates for supported PowerEdge servers. Automated processes reduce the steps, time, and costs to configure your PowerEdge servers from a bare-metal state and to prepare remote one-to-many operating system deployments within multi-vendor operating system and hypervisor environments.
OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager provides agent-free automated multi-vendor operating system, hypervisor deployment, Hyper-V, VMware and Linux deployments, Windows server HCI and cluster deployments and hardware configuration, uniform BIOS, driver and firmware updates, including automated updating through Microsoft Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) without impact to running workloads.

Licensing for Dell Technologies OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center

Licensing for Dell Technologies OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center is available either as part of a bundle or separately.

  • Evaluation license: A trial version of the license to enable evaluation for up to five servers (hosts or unassigned) which is auto imported after the installation.
  • Bundle production license: The OpenManage Platinum Bundle production license is a set of licenses per a single node that include the following products:
    • OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
    • OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center for Endpoint Configuration Manager
    • OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager
    • Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 DataCenter
    • OpenManage Enterprise Advance license
    • Dell OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter
    • OpenManage Integration with ServiceNow

    The bundle license provides a set of licenses for a single node. The number of bundle licenses should be equal to the number of nodes to be managed and monitored.

  • Separate production license: The separate production licenses can be either variable or unlimited. The separate production licenses are consisted of two parts: A base license per console and a node license
    The base license is required for each console integration. A separate base license is required for use of Dell Technologies OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center. The number of node licenses is based on the number of servers to be managed by each console.
    • Base license: The base license entitles use of one console. Use of more than one console requires a separate license for each console.
    • Node license: The node license entitles the management for one node (server) to connect to one Microsoft System Center console integration. Node licenses are available per generation of servers. For example, a 14th generation node license enables management of any one 14th generation server. Similarly, management of a 15th generation server would require one 15th generation node license. The number of generation node licenses required would be the total of number of servers in a given generation. The total number of node licenses required would be the total number of servers in all servers across all supported generations. For additional information about server generations, see Dell PowerEdge servers by generation.
      • Variable license: The variable license provides a per node license that should be equal to the number of nodes to be managed and monitored. If a server is discovered in a console, a license is used. And, if a server is deleted, a license is released. Stack multiple production licenses to increase the number of supported servers to the sum of the servers in the uploaded licenses.
      • Unlimited license: The unlimited license is used by OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center to enable monitoring or management of an unlimited quantity of Dell Technologies PowerEdge servers in a given generation.
  • Purchase license: Licenses can be included at the time of server purchase or purchased separately by contacting your local Dell Technologies sales representative. The OpenManage Portfolio Software Licensing Guide provides additional information for licensing options for your organization including pricing.
  • Download license: Purchased OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center licenses can be downloaded from Dell Digital Locker. License keys are stored online and can be downloaded if needed. If an existing license key in not available in the Dell Digital Locker or there is an issue with a license key, contact Dell Technologies Technical Support or Customer Care.
