Dell OpenManage Server Administrator

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator provides a comprehensive, one-to-one system management solution in two ways: from an integrated, Web browser- based GUI (the Server Administrator home page) and from a command line interface (CLI) through the operating system. Server Administrator allows you to manage NAS systems on a network locally and remotely and to focus on managing the entire network with comprehensive, one-to-one system management.

Server Administrator provides information about:

•Systems that are operating properly and systems that have problems

•Systems that require updates

•Systems that require remote recovery operations

Integrated Features

Server Administrator provides easy-to-use management and administration of local and remote systems through a comprehensive set of integrated management services. Server Administrator resides solely on the managed system and is accessible both locally and remotely from the Server Administrator home page. Server Administrator ensures the security of its management connections through role-based access control (RBAC), authentication, and industry- standard secure socket layer (SSL) encryption.

Server Administrator Home Page

The Server Administrator home page provides easy-to-set-up and easy-to-use Web browser-based system management from the managed node system or from a remote host through a LAN, dial-up service, or wireless network. When the NAS system is installed and configured on the managed node system, you can perform remote management functions from any system that has a supported Web browser and connection. Additionally, the Server Administrator home page provides extensive, context-sensitive online help.

Instrumentation Service

The Instrumentation Service provides rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by industry-standard systems management agents and allows remote administration of monitored systems, including shut down, start up, and security.

Remote Access Service

The Remote Access Service provides a complete remote system management solution for systems equipped with remote access controllers. For more information on the Remote Access Service, see "Using Remote Access Controllers."
