Viewing Storage Centers
The SCOM Management Pack 4.1 provides a graphical topology (diagram) view that lets SCOM administrators view Storage Center
components and their mappings and associations to other Storage Center components on the same storage area network (SAN).
To open a Storage Center diagram view:
1. In the Dell Storage Center Monitoring folder, click Storage Center Diagram View. The Storage Center Diagram View pane
opens.

2. Click the plus (+) or minus (-) sign on a Storage Center node to expand or collapse its associated components.
3. (Optional) Right-click the Storage Center node for a menu of applicable commands. For example, you can open the Object Properties
dialog box and change the diagram view layout.
Viewing Virtual Machines
The Dell VMM Storage Management Pack for SCOM discovers Storage Center virtual machines (VMs) managed by the System Center
Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). This management pack allows SCOM administrators to view and monitor
Storage Center VMs,
including Windows Hyper-V hosts.
NOTE:
The Dell VMM Storage Management Pack for SCOM is a separate management pack and depends on the
Microsoft SCVMM management packs provided by Microsoft. After installing the management pack, the Virtual
Machine Manager (VMM) must be connected and configured to work with SCOM. For more information, see How to
Connect VMM with Operations Manager.
Volumes can be mapped to a Hyper-V or VM in various ways. The following table provides a summary of connectivity supported as part of
the VM discovery. For more information, see the Dell Storage Center Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations
Manager Release Notes.
