Opening the Device Monitor Console
IMPORTANT:
• By default, you must have administrator rights to install and run the DMS.
• The DMC can be run on systems other than the system on which the DMS is installed.
• The HP ProLiant Server Management Pack must be imported into SCOM to open the DMC
from the SCOM console. You must also install at least one instance of the DMS and wait for
SCOM to discover the service.
• In addition, in order to open DMC from the operation manager, DMC must be installed locally
on the SCOM server.
You can open the DMC from the SCOM console in the following ways:
• From the Windows Start menu on the systems where the DMC is installed, click Device Monitor
Console.
• On the menu bar, select Actions→HP Device Monitor Service Tasks→HP Device Monitor Console.
• Select HP Management Servers under HP Systems in the Monitoring view pane. In the Actions
pane under HP Device Monitor Service Tasks, click HP Device Monitor Console.
• Select an Enclosure State view or a Server State view. In the Actions pane under HP Device
Monitor Service Tasks, click HP Device Monitor Console.

2. In the Device Monitor Connections pane, click the Add Connection icon.

A status indicator is displayed while the DMC attempts to connect to the DMS. When the
