Dell EMC OpenManage Integration Version 1.0.1 with Microsoft Windows Admin Center User’s Guide

Manage Failover Clusters and Azure Stack HCI

1. In the upper left corner of Windows Admin Center, select:
   • For 1904, 1904.1 GA releases of Windows Admin Center: Server Manager, Hyper-Converged Cluster Manager, or Failover Cluster Manager from the drop-down menu.
   • For 1910 GA release of Windows Admin Center: Server Manager or Cluster Manager from the drop-down menu.
2. From the list, select a failover or hyper-converged cluster connection, and then click Connect.

   NOTE: : If you have not entered the failover or hyper-converged cluster credentials while adding the connection, you must enter the credentials when you are connecting to the failover or hyper-converged cluster by selecting "Manage as".

   NOTE: : When a cluster is connected by using Single Sign-on authentication, OMIMSWAC is unable to retrieve the inventory information and the Windows Admin Center might be unresponsive. To resolve the issue:

   • Connect the cluster by using the "Manage as" feature and by entering the cluster administrator account. For more information, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/use/get-started.
   • Ensure Windows Admin Center service is running and for more information on troubleshooting Windows Admin Center, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/support/troubleshooting.

3. In the left pane of the Microsoft Windows Admin Center, under EXTENSIONS, click Dell EMC OpenManage Integration.
4. To manage a failover or hyper-converged cluster, select:
   • Health Status to view the health status of the server components of the individual nodes in the cluster.
     • The Overall Health Status section displays the overall health of the cluster. Select different sections in the doughnut chart to filter the health status of the components of the cluster nodes.

       NOTE: : The overall health status of the cluster might be displayed as critical or warning even though the components of the nodes displayed on the Windows Admin Center are healthy. For more details on the components in critical health state, go to the respective iDRAC console.

     See Health status—Supported server components in Failover Clusters and Azure Stack HCI.
   • Hardware Inventory to view the detailed hardware inventory information of the component. On the Overview page, the basic details of the nodes of the failover or hyper-converged cluster are listed. Select the required node to view detailed hardware inventory of the server components. See Hardware inventory—Supported server components in Failover Clusters and Azure Stack HCI.
   • Update Compliance to view the compliance charts of the nodes and components. Expand the required node to view a detailed compliance report of the components. See Viewing the update compliance of PowerEdge servers and node components of HCI and Failover clusters.
   • iDRAC to view the iDRAC details of the individual nodes. You can directly launch the iDRAC console from Windows Admin Center by using the OpenManage Integration. See View iDRAC details of the PowerEdge servers and nodes of HCI and Failover clusters.
