Systems Management Standards Availability

Server Administrator supports the following systems management protocols:

•HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)

•Common Information Model (CIM)

•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

If your system supports SNMP, you must install and enable the service on your operating system. If SNMP services are available on your operating system, the Server Administrator installation program installs the supporting agents for SNMP.

HTTPS is supported on all operating systems. Support for CIM and SNMP is operating system dependent and, in some cases, operating system-version dependent.

NOTE: For information on SNMP security concerns, see the Server Administrator readme file (packaged with the Server Administrator application) or at dell.com/openmanagemanuals. You must apply updates from your operating system's master SNMP agents to ensure that Dell's SNMP subagents are secure.

Availability On Supported Operating Systems

On supported Microsoft Windows operating systems, Server Administrator supports two systems management standards: CIM/Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and SNMP, while on supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems, Server Administrator supports the SNMP systems management standard.

Server Administrator adds considerable security to these systems management standards. All attributes set operations (for example, changing the value of an asset tag) must be performed with Dell OpenManage Essentials while logged in with the required privileges.

The following table shows the systems management standards that are available for each supported operating system.
