Dell OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center Version 3.0 User’s Guide

Prepare clusters using Windows Admin Center to monitor in Azure

OpenManage Integration for Microsoft Windows Admin Center allows you to monitor your on-premises infrastructures from anywhere in the Azure portal - without needing a VPN, public IP address, or other inbound connectivity to your machine. This feature is supported for Azure stack HCI and failover clusters.

Azure Arc is one of the primary management tools for managing resources at cloud and hybrid platforms. Dell Technologies recommends using Dell policies in Azure Arc to maintain compliance with Dell Technologies recommended configurations throughout the life cycle of the cluster. To do this, deploy Dell policies to Azure Arc using OpenManage Integration extension in Windows Admin Center. After deploying the policies, use the policies in Azure Arc to monitor your cluster. If multiple clusters are onboarded under the same Azure subscription, you can use the same policy to monitor multiple clusters in Azure Arc.
