Hardware management is the one thing I am most worried about. Sure, I could deploy the manufacturers management solution. But do I want consoles to manage lots of different systems? Really, you don\u2019t. You want one central point and that can be the Operations Manager console.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m most familiar with what HP does so I\u2019ll explain it. They provide and Insight Manager agent that detects health and performance issues of the hardware. This includes all of the components, e.g. CPU, fans, disks, network cards, etc. You can deploy and OpsMgr agent to this server. If you install the HP Insight Manager management pack then, after discovery, OpsMgr will be aware of the Insight Manager agent. All data collected by that agent will be detected by OpsMgr. So now, if a disk fails you learn about it in OpsMgr. If memory degrades, you learn about it in OpsMgr. This is so handy \u2013 because this is where you also get performance and health alerts for Windows, SQL, Exchange, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, etc. You can extend with 3rd party solutions to include your Cisco network, etc. Heck, there\u2019s even a coffee pot management pack!!!<\/p>\n
Back in the day, there appeared to be only support from HP and Dell. But that has changed.<\/p>\n
That should get you started. Each of the manufacturers seems to do things differently. HP, for example, uses the above system for ProLaints. But blade enclosures require a piece of middleware. Make sure you read the accompanying documentation from the OEM before you do anything.<\/p>\n
Thanks to fellow MVP Mark Wilson for finding the links for Fujitsu. <\/p>\n
