Hello, In this writeup I\u2019ll discuss about the steps to collect metrics of Dell PowerEdge servers using vRealize Operations Management Pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First download the management pack (PAK file) from VMware Marketplace.<\/strong> The management packs consist of a PAK file that contains default dashboards for the objects that the management pack identifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next collect the User settings for iDRAC.<\/strong>
Login to iDRAC > iDRAC Settings > Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SNMP Agent should be Enabled.
Note down the \u2018Community Name\u2019 & \u2018SNMP Discovery Port Number\u2019 which will be needed later while adding the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s install & configure the management pack.<\/strong>
Login into vRealize Operations using \u2018admin\u2019 credentials.
Under \u2018Data Sources\u2019 > \u2018Integrations\u2019 > Click on \u2018Repository\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Initially in the repository we will not see the Dell PowerEdge Management Pack. Click on \u2018Add\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In \u2018Add Solution\u2019 window Click \u2018Browse\u2019 and select the Management pack downloaded earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click on ‘Upload’ and once upload is complete Click on ‘Next’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Accept EULA & Click \u2018Next\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the installation is complete Click \u2018Finish\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now the management pack will be seen in the Repository > Click on \u2018Add Account\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the Add Account tab, enter necessary information as
Name: Give any name as you prefer
Management IP: FQDN\/IP of the iDRAC
Credential: Click + to add new credential<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Manage Credential tab, enter necessary information as
Credential Kind: Select \u2018SNMP v2\u2019
Credential name: Enter any name as you prefer
Community String: Enter the string noted from the iDRAC Settings
Click \u2018OK\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Check\/Update Advanced Settings
e.g. SNMP Port: 161
Click \u2018Validate Connection\u2019, it should give you the message as \u2018Test connection successful\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click on \u2018Add\u2019 on the \u2018Add Account\u2019 screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dell EMC PowerEdge will be seen in the Accounts tab, initially its status will be \u2018Warning\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Refresh the page & the status will change to \u2018Ok\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now you can see the metrics in \u2018Visualize\u2019 > \u2018Dashboard\u2019 > \u2018All\u2019 > \u2018Dell EMC PowerEdge\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Metrics will be something like below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hope this is useful in your lab activities. Cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
