Operations Manager Management Console Requirements
=====================================================================
NOTE: The Management Pack version 3.0 can be installed only on
Operations Manager 2007 and System Center Essentials 2007.
* The Operations Manager 2007 agent software must be installed on all
Dell-managed systems either remotely from the management station or
locally on the managed system.
* For discovered systems to be recognized as Dell devices in the
Operations Manager 2007 environment, Server Administrator must be
installed on all Dell-managed systems.
NOTE: Dell Management Pack functions with a reduced feature set if the
Operations Manager 2007 Management Server Action account has normal
user privileges on all Dell managed systems.
NOTE: The Operations Manager 2007 Management Server Action account needs
administrator privileges on all Dell managed systems to perform
DRAC object discovery and launch the Dell Remote Access Console task.
If the Management Server Action account has normal user privileges,
operators need to provide task credentials with Power User (or higher)
privileges to run the Clear ESM Logs task, instead of selecting
Use the predefined Run as Account.
* To run the Remote Power Control tasks or the LED Identification
Control tasks on managed systems, the BMC Management Utility
version 2.0 or later must be installed on the management station.
The BMC Management Utility is available on the "Dell
Systems Management Consoles" CD. OM 5.3 includes this on the "Dell Systems
Console and Agent" CD.
NOTE: Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista™ operating systems
are supported for systems running Operations Console.
NOTE: Administrators need to ensure Dell tasks with BMC credentials
- username, password and KG key are set for all the Tasks in
Authoring pane - Dell Server BMC object, depending on the
customer settings. For credential parameters details and of
IPMISH task command line syntax, see the
"Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management Utilities User's Guide"
from the "Dell Systems Management Consoles CD" or from the Dell
Support website at "support.dell.com." for details.
Also, provide the accurate path to "ipmish.exe" in the
Dell task parameters.
NOTE: Remote Power control tasks, LED Identification control tasks
and Clear Agent ESM Log will function only for Dell systems on
which a Dell Agent is installed.
NOTE: Remote Power control tasks and LED identification control tasks
will provide IPMI Shell Task output only on Dell systems with
IPMI capability and with Server Administrator installed.
