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 support.dell.com/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 files are removed. 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 Updates DVD to view the complete version report and to update an entire system. The Server Update Utility is a DVD-ROM–based application for identifying and applying updates to your system. The Server Update Utility can be downloaded from support.dell.com. See the Server Update Utility User's Guide for more information about obtaining and using the Server Update Utility (SUU) to update your Dell Systems or to view the updates available for any systems listed in the Repository. Storage Management Service The Storage Management Service provides storage management information in an integrated graphical view. For detailed information on the Storage Management Service, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals. 10 Introduction
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 shutdown, startup, and security. Remote Access Controller The Remote Access Controller provides a complete remote system management solution for systems equipped with the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) or Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)/Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) solution. The Remote Access Controller provides remote access to an inoperable system, allowing you to get the system up and running as quickly as possible. The Remote Access Controller also provides an alert notification when a system is down and allows you to remotely restart the system. Additionally, the Remote Access Controller logs the probable cause of system crashes and saves the most recent crash screen. Logs Server Administrator displays logs of commands issued to or by the system, monitored hardware events, and system alerts. You can view logs on the home page, print or save them as reports, and send them by e-mail to a designated service contact.
