Using the Operations Manager Console with Lenovo Hardware PRO Pack

The following procedure describes how to use the Operations Manager Console with Lenovo Hardware PRO Pack to view alerts, health states, task status and detailed information for systems being monitored.

About this task

After installing Lenovo Hardware PRO Pack, you can use the Monitoring page in the Operations Manager Console to monitor systems. The Lenovo SCVMM-Managed Licensed Hosts (PRO Views) folder on the Monitoring page provides a complete view of the health of your PRO-Enabled Hyper-V and Virtual Server System x hardware.

Procedure

1. In the navigation pane of the Operations Manager Console, click Monitoring.
2. Expand the Lenovo SCVMM-Managed Licensed Hosts (PRO Views) folder.

   Lenovo Hardware PRO Pack adds the following views:

   Active PRO alerts:

   Provides a state view of alerts for all discovered and PRO-enabled virtual servers and Hyper-V System x hardware.

   Alert text for many events is generic and might cover multiple events affecting the same hardware component.

   For more detailed information about alerts, see Using Health Explorer to identify and resolve problems.

   Licensed SCVMM-Managed Hosts PRO Status

   A state view of all discovered PRO-enabled virtual servers and Hyper-V systems.

   Use this view in the same way you use the Monitoring > Computers view.

   The difference between these two views is that the Licensed SCVMM-Managed Hosts PRO Status view contains only computers that are PRO-enabled, running Virtual Server or Hyper-V on System x hardware.

   Notes

   Notes:

   • If you remove a managed client from the Operations Manager Console, you also need to remove the client from VMM. Otherwise, the client is disabled in the Licensed SCVMM-Managed Host PRO Status view of Operations Manager Console.
   • If you upgrade Director Agent from a prior version (for example, from 6.2.1 to 6.3) on a target server, complete the following steps:
     1. Remove and reinstall the PRO Pack.
     2. Restart the SCOM services.
     3. Based on your SCVMM version, follow the instructions in Synchronizing System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 and System Center Operations Manager or Synchronizing System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 and System Center Operations Manager.

     If these steps are not completed, the prior version of the Director Agent entry might still display in Licensed SCVMM-Managed Host PRO Status in the Operations Manager Console.
