Managing Dell Systems
When discovered, Dell systems can be managed using the various Dell systems management applications such as the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
WebConsole,DellOpenManageITAssistant,andDellOpenManageArrayManagerconsole.Dellsystemsarenotdifferentiatedfromothersystemsinthe
Unicenter Map; however, the Dell systems management launch points are identified with unique icons in the Unispace window or the Topology Browser. See

The Connection also dynamically creates a Business Process View called "Dell Managed Systems" and populates it with each discovered system that is running
the Server Administrator.
The various systems management applications can be launched from the right-click menu.

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
Server Administrator provides a comprehensive, one-to-one systems management solution from an integrated, Web browser-based GUI (the Server
Administrator home page). Server Administrator is designed for system administrators to both locally and remotely manage systems and attached storage
systems on a network.
The Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management Service provides storage management information in an integrated graphical view. The
Storage Management Service enables you to view the status of local and remote storage attached to a monitored system. Storage Management Service
obtains logical and physical information about attached storage devices from the monitored system. For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator's User's Guide and the Dell OpenManage Storage Management User's Guide.

Dell OpenManage Array Manager
Array Manager instrumentation and the Array Manager console provide a comprehensive solution to storage management in an integrated graphical view.
