Introduction

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) provides a comprehensive, one-to-one systems management solution in two ways: from an integrated, web browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) and from a command line interface (CLI) through the operating system. Server Administrator enables system administrators to manage systems locally and remotely on a network. It enables system administrators to focus on managing their entire network by providing comprehensive one-to-one systems management. In the context of Server Administrator, a system refers to a stand- alone system, a system with attached network storage units in a separate chassis, or a modular system consisting of one or more server modules in a modular enclosure. Server Administrator provides information about:

•Systems that are operating properly and systems that have problems

•Systems that require remote recovery operations

Server Administrator provides easy-to-use management and administration of local and remote systems through a comprehensive set of integrated management services. Server Administrator is the sole installation on the system being managed and is accessible both locally and remotely from the Server Administrator home page. Remotely monitored systems may be accessed through dial-in, LAN, or wireless connections. Server Administrator ensures the security of its management connections through role-based access control (RBAC), authentication, and secure socket layer (SSL) encryption.

Installation

You can install Server Administrator using the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. The DVD provides a setup program to install, upgrade, and uninstall Server Administrator, managed system and management station software components. Additionally, you can install Server Administrator on multiple systems through an unattended installation across a network. The Dell OpenManage installer provides installation scripts and RPM packages to install and uninstall Dell OpenManage Server Administrator and other managed system software components on your managed system. For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide and the Dell OpenManage Management Station Software Installation Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.

NOTE: When you install the open source packages from the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD, the corresponding license files are automatically copied to the system. When you remove these packages, the corresponding license files are also removed.

NOTE: If you have a modular system, you must install Server Administrator on each server module installed in the chassis.

Updating Individual System Components

To update individual system components, use component-specific Dell Update Packages. Use the Dell Server Update Utility DVD to view the complete version report and to update an entire system. The Server Update Utility (SUU) identifies and applies the required updates to your system. SUU can also be downloaded from support.dell.com.
