NOTE: Managed system applications such as Server Administrator, and remote access controller (RAC) software are not used inside the virtual machines because the software would only see the virtualized hardware and not the physical hardware.

NOTE: Dell OpenManage Server Administrator will run within the VMware Service Console and can be used to manage the server components. Devices which are dedicated exclusively to the VMkernel are not reported by Dell OpenManage Server Administrator and Service Console. Server Administrator can only monitor hardware components that are shared with the VMware Service Console. The following devices are dedicated exclusively to VMkernel:

CPU1, CPU2, and CPU3 on PE6650 or CPU1 on PE 2850 and PE 1850

Network Interface Cards and Host Bus Adapter (HBA) which are dedicated to virtual machines

Using the Dell Remote Access Card III (DRAC III) on PE 6650

If a DRAC III remote access card has been installed in your system, you should also install the ppp-2.4.1-2.i386.rpm package before installing the OpenManage Server Administrator. This file can be found on the

ESX Server 2.1 Installation CD. Insert the installation CD into the systems CD-ROM drive and install the rpm in the Service Console using

the commands:

mount /dev/cdrom

rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/VMware/RPMS/ ppp-2.4.1-2.i386.rpm

umount /dev/cdrom
