Hi,

We just installed some Dell servers and EqualLogic PS5000 SANs. When installing SCOM 2007, I found Dell does have MP for the servers but not for the SANs, which Dell bought EqualLogic not long time ago.

Could you please let me know if Dell will develop or is developing the MP for EqualLogic boxes?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi, you might try Akorri BalancePoint, which is now available for sale through Dell, and offers full support for Equallogic PS Series.

Currently, we do not have any SCOM integration for EqualLogic, but we are aware of the value of this product. Currently we have SCOM integration for MD along with Servers, Clients, and Printers.

It's been over a year: what's the status of this? I just took delivery of a PS6000 and a PS6500, and have no way to monitor from SCOM 2007.

Hey OldDogVT,

I hope you enjoy your new arrays! I checked with some of the systems management and EQL Gurus. Currently, it looks like its planned for end of 1Q (2010), subject to change. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the update ...

any further news as to when this will be release given we are at end of Q1 2010...?

I've heard from Dell that a beta is due out imminently (like weeks). I've signed up as a beta tester. If you want to join in, contact your Dell rep, I guess. That's what I did.

That's true, beta program is available... send me a direct message with your email address & I'll get you in touch with the beta program administrator.
