42 PowerEdge R820 Technical Guide

Because Dell PowerEdge servers have embedded server lifecycle management, in many cases, there

is no need to install an OpenManage systems management software agent into the operating

system of a Dell PowerEdge server. This greatly simplifies and streamlines the management footprint.

The central console in a systems management solution is often referred to as the one-to-many

console. The central console provides a rapid view and insight into the overall health of all systems

in the IT environment. The Dell systems management portfolio includes several powerful consoles,

depending upon your needs, including the following:

 Dell OpenManage Essentials—OpenManage Essentials (OME) is a recently released systems

management console that provides a comprehensive view of Dell systems, devices, and

components in an enterprise network. It is used to monitor Dell PowerEdge servers,

EqualLogic™ and PowerVault™ storage, and PowerConnect™ switches; to update and configure

Dell servers; and to create asset reports. OpenManage Essentials also communicates health

status alerts for Dell servers, storage, and network devices to the KACE™ K1000 service desk.

OpenManage Essentials is available as a no-charge software download from Support.Dell.com.

 Dell Management Console—Dell Management Console (DMC) offers sophisticated data-center

management capabilities with comprehensive reporting features. DMC can perform basic

hardware management and can manage operating systems and applications using various

plug-ins from Symantec.

 Dell IT Assistant—Dell IT Assistant (ITA) is a console for managing Dell servers, storage arrays,

and other components distributed throughout a network. Dell IT Assistant allows for easy

identification of system issues through alerts, helping to reduce system downtime. Systems

administrators can easily monitor systems anywhere within their network using ITA. ITA is

supported on the R820, however, enhanced functionality is now available with OpenManage

Essentials.

Dell OpenManage systems management tools and utilities consist of the following:

 Dell Repository Manager—The Dell Repository Manager (RM) is a standalone GUI-based

productivity tool that helps simplify the process of managing downloads and baseline BIOS,

firmware, and driver updates. Repository Manager can create deployment disks as well as create

and manage customized repositories.

 Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility—The Dell Server Update Utility (SUU) is a DVD-based

application for identifying and applying BIOS and firmware updates to your Dell PowerEdge

servers.

 Dell OpenManage Systems Build and Update Utility—The Dell System Build and Update Utility

(SBUU) provides one-to-one and one-to-many deployment and single-server update

capabilities in the pre-operating system environment.

 Dell Update Packages—The Dell Update Packages (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a

standard package format that updates a software element on a Dell server such as the BIOS,

a driver, firmware and other software updates.

 Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit—The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) is a

CLI-based tool that includes a set of utilities for configuring and deploying Dell PowerEdge

systems, and can be used to build scripted, unattended OS installations to deploy large numbers

of servers in a reliable fashion.

 RACADM—The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to

locally or remotely configure iDRAC7.
