#####################################################################
This section provides information about the minimum requirements for
installing and using the Dell Management Pack for Microsoft
System Center Operations Manager.
=====================================================================
Managed System Software Requirements
=====================================================================
* Operating system support: Windows Server® 2003 X86 and X64 with SP1
(Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter editions) and
Windows 2000 Server edition with SP4.
* Support for Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator version 5.3
(including the
Server Administrator Storage Management Service version 2.3).
For receiving alerts from the storage subsystem, you must have
installed the Server Administrator Storage Management Service.
* Browser support for Server Administrator-managed systems:
For information on browser support for Server Administrator-managed
systems, see the Server Administrator readme.txt file.
NOTE: If the "Launch Server Administrator" Task gives you a "Page
cannot be displayed" error, ensure that there is network
connectivity from the Dell server.
NOTE: If any of the Remote power control or LED Identification
control tasks give you errors, ensure that there is network
connectivity from the BMC NIC of the Dell server and
that the BMC is configured with a valid IP Address and is
IPMI-enabled. For IPMI Shell errors, see the
"Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management Utilities User's Guide"
from the Dell OpenManage "Systems Management Consoles CD" or
from the Dell Support website at "support.dell.com" for details.
OM 5.3 includes this on the "Dell Systems Console and Agent" CD.
NOTE: If you have a Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) installed,
you must install the DRAC agent using the
"Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management" CD.
During installation, select "Managed Node"-> "DRAC Agent."
OM 5.3 includes this on the "Dell Systems Console and Agent" CD.
NOTE: If the DRAC Console launch gives you a "Page cannot be
displayed" error, ensure that there is network connectivity
from the DRAC card, and that the DRAC is configured with a
valid IP address.
NOTE: If attributes or hardware objects do not display for Dell
Servers, ensure that the CIM Dell namespace is not corrupted
and that the Dell Services are not down.
Restart the Dell managed system or reinstall Server
Administrator to correct the CIM behavior.
