Licensing

The Dell OpenManage Connection provides an agent-free out of band (OOB) monitoring support for Dell

12th or 13th PowerEdge servers, Dell PowerVault NX storage arrays or Dell workstations using Dell

Connections License Manager (DCLM). Monitoring Dell servers, Dell PowerVault NX storage arrays, or

Dell workstations through OOB is a licensed feature. The administrator needs to procure connection

licenses for monitoring these Dell devices. The licensing feature facilitates monitoring of iDRAC7 or

iDRAC8 systems in ITNM IP Edition. The licensing feature is used with 1, 100, 250, or unlimited nodes.

Only the licensed nodes are classified.

Relinquishing the Acquired DCLM Licenses

You can relinquish the licenses you have acquired if a licensed Dell server or workstation, iDRAC7 or

iDRAC8 device has been decommissioned from the ITNM environment. The licenses can be relinquished

by providing a service tag for which the DCLM license is acquired. Relinquish the license using the

following command:

java –jar dell_OMC_ITNM_ConfigUtility.jar –relinquish=<service tag/Server Node

ID>

For example:

java –jar dell_OMC_ITNM_ConfigUtility_v_2_0.jar –relinquish=FXQY2CS

NOTE:

You cannot use -relinquish with other options.
