MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
#####################################################################
This section provides information about the minimum requirements for
installing and using the Dell Server Management Pack for Microsoft
System Center Operations Manager.
=====================================================================
Operations Manager Management Console Requirements
=====================================================================
NOTE: The Management Pack version 3.1 can be installed only on
Operations Manager 2007 SP1 and System Center Essentials 2007
SP1.
* Dell Storage Array Management Pack utilizes the ABB (Array Bridge
Broker) executable to discover and manage the Storage devices since
the protocols used by Operations Manager discovery are not supported
by the MD3000(TM)/MD3000i(TM) devices.
You will need to extract the self-extracting executable
(Dell_MDStorageArray_ABBSetup.exe) to the default path
- C:\Dell_MDStorageArray_ABB\
* For management of Storage devices,
C:\Dell_MDStorageArray_ABB\dell_rbod_ip.cfg must be updated with the
list of Storage Array IP addresses in a single line. (separated by
semi-colons)
NOTE: Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista(TM) operating systems
are supported for systems running Operations Console.
