Dell OpenManage Connection v1.0 for IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition 3.9 (ITNM) enables datacenter customers to monitor the Dell devices in environment managed by an existing ITNM console. It helps customer to discover the Dell devices (servers, storage, chassis and remote access controllers) and then monitor the overall health of the Dell devices periodically. It supports device specific one-to-one console launch and Dell Tools launch from Dell device nodes in the ITNM console. Also, alerts generated as part of polling will be shown in the integrated OMNIbus console as well.
