Yes, download and install the Dell Storage Manager Virtual Appliance

Go to Drivers & downloads
https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/storage-sc2000/drivers?rvps=y
Click on the link for ​ - Dell Storage Manager - 2016 R3.20 Release (DSM Virtual Appliance)


****I ALWAYS recommend to have a copy of the DSM Client installed locally.
If you run your Data Collector on a Virtual server please download and install a copy of the DSM Client on a local machine. This is so you can access your Storage Centers in the case of your Virtual Machine becoming inaccessible.

On the same download page is Dell Storage Manager - 2016 R3.20 Release (Windows Client) - for all regions except China
This can be used to connect to the DSM VA Data Collector, or connect to the SAN directly
