appliance is deployed on the management cluster. For fullest functionality, direct internet access, or

access through a proxy, is recommended.

Active System Manager addresses key factors that impact service levels, namely infrastructure

configuration errors, incorrect problem troubleshooting, and slow recovery from failures. Active System

Manager dramatically improves the accuracy of infrastructure configuration by reducing manual touch

points.

7.2 Dell OpenManage Essentials (OME)

In the Active System 1000v, Dell OpenManage Essentials (OME) is sized and configured to monitor the

Active System 1000v solution components. It is deployed on a Windows Server 2012 virtual machine

within the management cluster. High availability of the OME virtual machine is provided by VMware

High Availability service. OME utilized a local SQL Express database. For fullest functionality, direct

internet access, or through a proxy, is recommended.

Within the Active System 1000v, OME is utilized for discovery, inventory, and hardware level

monitoring of blade and rack servers, blade chassis, Dell I/O modules, and Dell Networking switches.

Each of these components are configured to send SNMP traps to the centralized OME console to provide

a “single pane of glass” monitoring interface for major hardware components. OME provides a

comprehensive inventory of solution component thought WS-MAN and SNMP inventory calls. For

instance, reporting is available to provide blade and rack server firmware versions or solution warranty

status. OME can be used as the single point of monitoring for all hardware components within an

enterprise.

For more information on OpenManage Essentials, see the Data Center Systems Management page.

7.3 Dell Repository Manager (DRM)

Within the Active System 1000v solution, Dell Repository Manager (DRM) is installed on the same

Windows Server 2012 VM as Dell OpenManage Essentials. DRM is an application that allows IT Admins to

more easily manage system updates. DRM provides a searchable interface used to create custom

collections known as bundles and repositories of Dell Update Packages (DUPs). These bundles and

repositories allow for the deployment of multiple firmware, BIOS, driver, and software updates at

once. Additionally, Dell Repository Manager makes it easier to locate specific updates for a particular

platform, which saves you time. For example, in Repository Manager you can create a bundle with the

latest updates for a Dell PowerEdge M620. DRM can be used in conjunction with other OpenManage

tools helps to ensure that your PowerEdge server is kept up to date.

7.4 Dell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter (DMPVV)

Dell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter is deployed as a virtual appliance within the management

cluster, and is attached to the VMware vCenter Server within the Active System 1000v stack. DMPVV

communicates with the VMware vCenter Server, the hypervisor management interfaces, and server out-

of-band management interfaces (iDRAC). For ease of appliance firmware updates and warranty
