This white paper does not reproduce the content of the published Microsoft user guide. This section describes the steps that Dell Technologies engineers used in the lab to test Management Pack. Management Pack ran in the same SCOM environment as the one used for hardware monitoring, which is described in Monitor Scale Unit Hardware. These tools can be combined in the same SCOM environment to produce a centralized monitoring system for the Dell EMC Integrated System software and hardware architecture.
Note: While Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) are both supported as identity stores when adding the Azure Stack Hub deployments, this chapter only describes the ADFS scenario.
To install Management Pack in a SCOM environment:
To run the Add Deployment wizard:

In our test environment, we used ADFS as the identity store.

You should see a confirmation that the SPN credentials have been verified. If there are any errors, ensure that:

Note: If the Add Deployment operation fails with the error message “Could not establish trust relationship,” restart the SCOM management server and try the operation again.

Compare data that is displayed in the Azure Stack Hub Administration Portal to data that is displayed in the Microsoft Azure Stack Hub folder in the SCOM management console monitoring view. You should see similar health alerts in both applications, as shown in the following figures:
