Bspintu.   While I can give some details on the questions you are asking, it may be more productive if you were to call in and discuss with the SysMgmt team directly, the reason being is that there is a lot of information to get across in a forum posting. That being said let me clarify details, based on your questions;   Question 1: Each of those products have a different use. SCG is for auto case creation and OME/CIQ more for general health monitoring. So likely OME + SCG would be best for you.   Question 2: You're correct. Ancient Switch OS or anything not on the support matrix may not work   Question 3: No. ESXi discovery requires SSH and SNMP for SCG. There is no need to discover the host OS at all if you have the iDRAC discovered though    Question 4: There is a current issue with the ME4024 on SCG that should be resolved in the next release, but unfortunately I don't have a specific timeframe as to when it will be released.. Let me know if this helps.
** We have all of the below mentioned 3 management tools, deployed in our environment.1) CloudIQ,2) Secure Connect Gateway,3) OpenManage Enterprise ** In our environment we have around 30 devices of various types as follows.1) SAN Storage [Model: DELL ME4024]2) Core Switch [Model: DELL SW4128]3) Access Switch [Model: DELL N3248TE-ON]4) ESXi Host [Model: DELL PowerEdge R640]5) vCenter Server [Version: 7.0]Query-1: Which is the best among these three (CloudIQ, SCG & OME) to manage all of the above mentioned devices?Query-2: Not all of the devices are discovered on all three tools. For example Access Switch discovery issue on OME.-> The Access Switch discovery fails in OME. As per DELL Support Matrix document, it was found that the OME 3.9 supports "Access Switch" of Model – N3248TE which runs “10.5.2.0” version of Networking OS in it to achieve Discovery and Monitoring functionality through OME. Whereas the current Networking OS version on Access Switch was found to be running lower (OS6) than the recommended version (OS10) which needs upgrading. Support Matrix Link: Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise 3.9 Support Matrix | Dell US. Is this correct? [IMAGE]Query-3: ESXi Host discovery fails on SCG console.-> From what I understood is, for having ESXi host device discovered on SCG it requires SSH and SNMP Firewall service to be started/ enabled. I also tested enabling the SSH and attempted to discover and could see that the discovery succeeded. But client is not happy to have SSH & SNMP enabled enabled on ESXi host. What could be an alternate solution to have the ESXi host discovered?Query-4: SAN Storage discovery fails on SCG console.-> I did check the Support assist checkbox on SAN management console is enabled.-> The credentials are also set correct for discovery to happen.-> Following error displays while attempting for discovery.-> Kindly assist on how to fix this issue?
