Dell EMC OpenManage Integration v7.1 for Microsoft System Center for Operations Manager (SCOM) Installation Guide

License Information

The Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature in Dell EMC Server Management Pack Suite for Operations Manager is licensed. Information on the process for obtaining software licenses is as follows.

Licenses

Licenses must be purchased based on the desired number of nodes you want to monitor.

Purchasing Licenses

To leverage the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature functionalities, you must purchase licenses (based on the desired number of managed nodes) from Dell. The order confirmation and license is sent as an e-mail to the e-mail ID that you have specified in My Account — Dell. The purchased licenses are also downloadable from the Dell Digital Locker portal at http://www.dell.com/support/licensing. If you are unable to download your licenses, email Dell Customer Support by going to https://www.dell.com/support/incidents-online/in/en/inbsd1/ContactUs/Dynamic.

Checking License Usage

A Console requires a license to manage PowerEdge servers. To view the PowerEdge servers managed by Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature for Operations Manager: In Operations Manager, select Monitoring > Dell EMC > Dell EMC Feature Management Dashboard

The number of nodes consumed is displayed in the Total Node Count column.

Change from Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for Operations Manager

Until Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for Operations Manager; Dell Connections License Manager (DCLM) was required to manage licenses. For Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.1 and later, you do not require DCLM.

There is no longer a license-count enforcement post DCLM being removed. You can continue to manage the PowerEdge servers using Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature for Operations Manager even after reaching or exceeding the limit of the number of licenses purchased from Dell. The  Checking License Usage section presents the steps to help you determine the number of nodes being managed to ensure that you have the appropriate number of license entitlements from Dell Inc. Purchase additional licenses if the number of nodes you are managing exceeds the number of licenses you have purchased.

Licenses that you have purchased for Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.0 for Operations Manager are still applicable to Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.1 and later for Operations Manager. So, after a product upgrade, the earlier license is still valid and you can still manage servers per the permissible count mentioned in the previously purchased license.

License terms and conditions

The licenses are also governed by the same license terms as the product EULA. You can get the latest updated license terms at  dell.com/learn/us/en/uscorp1/terms?s=corp . For further queries, contact Dell Sales and Support.
