Server Administrator Supported Applications

and Systems

This section provides information on instrumentation, applications, and systems that are supported

by the Dell OpenManage™ Systems Management CD versions 3.0 through 4.2, and

Dell™ PowerEdge™ Installation and Server Management CD version 4.3 onwards.

NOTE: Starting with Dell OpenManage version 4.3, the Systems Management CD has been replaced by the

Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD. References in this guide to the

Systems Management CD are for Dell OpenManage versions 3.0 through 4.2.

The Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD (or the Systems Management CD)

supports both Dell OpenManage Server Administrator and Server Agent. For more information

about applications and systems supported by Server Agent, see "Server Agent Supported

Applications and Systems." Server Agent is referred to as the Instrumentation Service starting with

Systems Management CD 3.x. The Instrumentation Service is also called Hardware Instrumentation

Package (HIP) on older releases.

NOTE: The Systems Management CD version 3.0 and later does not fully support the following

Dell PowerEdge systems: 1300, 2100, 2200, 2300, 4100, 4200, 4300, 4350, 6100, 6300, and 6350.

NOTE: The Systems Management CD version 3.2.1 was not released.

Version Number Information

All software supporting the Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault™ NAS systems are delivered in

Dell OpenManage stack releases that include the complete group of programs and that are fully

tested for the supported platforms. An example is the Dell OpenManage 3.4.2 release of the Dell

OpenManage software. The version of the software is significant. In this example, the first number

(3) represents the major version number. You should upgrade your software any time Dell delivers a

new major version. The second number (4) is the release number. A new release may have some

minor features and fixes associated with it. You do not need to upgrade to the latest release unless

that release is enabling your specific hardware or solving an issue you may be experiencing. You may

skip releases as needed. The last number (2) is the hardware platform refresh number. This indicates

that the software has been updated to support a new system. If you have older systems running

version 3.4.1, there is no need to upgrade for a platform refresh.
