WMI Provider Requirements

Before SCOM can monitor Storage Centers, the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Provider must be configured using a

Storage Manager administrator-level user account. To allow SCOM to monitor a Storage Center, the following requirements for the

Storage Manager user and environment apply:

• The WMI Provider must be installed on a host with the ability to communicate with the Storage Manager Data Collector.

• The WMI Provider must be configured with a Dell Storage Manager user with administrator-level user privileges.

• Storage Centers must be added to the Storage Manager Client using a Storage Center user with administrator-level user privileges.

For more information about using Storage Manager, see the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide.
