Comprehensive embedded management

Comprehensive Embedded Management (CEM) is a storage management solution for Dell systems that
enables you to effectively monitor the RAID and network controllers installed on the system using iDRAC
without an OS installed on the system.
Using CEM enables you to perform the following:
• Monitor devices without an OS installed on the system.
• Provide a specific location to access monitored data of the storage devices and network cards.
• Allows controller configuration for all the PERC 9 cards (H330, H730, H730P, and H830).
NOTE:
The Comprehensive Embedded Management (CEM) feature is not supported on the Dell PowerEdge
R920 servers.

Dell OpenManage Storage Management

The Dell OpenManage Storage Management is a storage management application for Dell systems that
provides enhanced features for configuring a system's locally-attached RAID and Non-RAID disk storage.
The Dell OpenManage storage management application enables you to perform controller and enclosure
functions for all supported RAID controllers and enclosures from a single graphical or command-line
interface without using of the controller BIOS utilities. The graphical user interface (GUI) is wizard-driven
with features for novice and advanced users, and detailed online help. Using the Dell OpenManage
storage management application, you can protect your data by configuring data-redundancy, assigning
hot spares, or rebuilding failed physical disks. The command line interface available on selected operating
systems to perform RAID management tasks is fully featured and scriptable.
