The Dell EMC OMIMSSC appliance facilitates operating system deployment, hardware patching, firmware updates, and server maintenance. OMIMSSC provides integrations with the Microsoft System Center suite of products that enable full lifecycle management of the Dell EMC servers by using iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller (LC). With OMIMSSC, you can either integrate with Microsoft SCCM for managing the Dell EMC servers or with Microsoft SCVMM in virtualized or cloud environments.
Ensure that:
- You use VM resource controls and settings to configure reservations that ensure that necessary CPU and memory resources are available to the VMs.
- The VMs have network access to the iDRACs, the hosts, the cluster, and the management network.
SCVMM is one of Microsoft's System Center VM management and reporting tools, alongside established tools such as SCOM. For more information, see the Microsoft article What is Virtual Machine Manager?
