Dell IDRAC6 manual Installing the Software on the Managed System

Installing the Software on the Managed System

Installing software on the managed system is optional. Without the managed system software, you cannot use the RACADM locally, and the iDRAC6 cannot capture the last crash screen.

To install the managed system software, install the software on the managed system using the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. For instructions about how to install this software, see your Software Quick Installation Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com\manuals.

Managed system software installs your choices from the appropriate version of Dell OpenManage Server Administrator on the managed system.

NOTE: Do not install the iDRAC6 management station software and the iDRAC6 managed system software on the same system.

If Server Administrator is not installed on the managed system, you cannot view the system’s last crash screen or use the Auto Recovery feature.

For more information about the last crash screen, see "Viewing the Last System Crash Screen" on page 333.

Installing the Software on the Management Station

Your system includes the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. This DVD includes the following components:

•DVD root - Contains the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility, which provides server setup and system installation information

•SYSMGMT - Contains the systems management software products including Dell OpenManage Server Administrator

For information about Server Administrator, IT Assistant, and Unified Server Configurator, see the Server Administrator User's Guide, the IT Assistant User’s Guide, and the Lifecycle Controller User’s Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com/manuals.
