Configuring Your BMC Using Server
Administrator
You can also configure the BMC options using Server Administrator Version 5.3
or later, which is a one-to-one systems management software program that must
be installed on the managed system. Once installed, you can remotely access
Server Administrator from a management station with a supported browser to
perform BMC configuration tasks. See the Server Administrator User’s Guide for
more information about installing and using Server Administrator.
You can configure the BMC settings from either the Server Administrator
home page or from its command line interface. Users must have
Administrator privileges to access the BMC settings. Users logged in with
User or Power User group privileges can view the BMC information but
cannot change the settings.
See the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Command Line Interface
User's Guide for information about configuring the BMC from the command line.
When using Server Administrator, you can click Help on the global
navigation bar for more detailed information about the specific window you
are viewing. Server Administrator help is available for all windows accessible
to the user based on user privilege level and the specific hardware and
software groups that Server Administrator discovers on the managed system.
The Server Administrator Instrumentation Service allows you to manage
BMC features, such as, general BMC information, configuration of the LAN
and serial port, BMC users, and BIOS setup. To use Server Administrator to
configure the BMC on a managed system, perform the following steps:
