®
Operations Manager
• Support for Array Manager versions 3.4–3.7.
• Browser support for Server Administrator-managed systems: For information on browser support for
Server Administrator-managed systems, see the Server Administrator
readme.txt file.
NOTE: If you have a Dell™ Remote Access Controller (DRAC) installed, you must install the DRAC agent using the
Dell OpenManage Systems Management CD for Server Administrator versions 1.6
– 1.9 or the Dell PowerEdge
Installation and Server Management CD for Server Administrator versions 2.0
– 5.0. During installation, select
Managed
Node → DRAC Agent.
NOTE: You must configure a valid IP address for your DRAC card and baseboard management controller (BMC) and
ensure network connectivity for your Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) tasks to work without errors.
NOTE: If the Remote Power Control tasks or the LED Identification Control tasks give errors, ensure that network
connectivity is available from the BMC network interface card (NIC) of the Dell server and the BMC is configured
with a valid IP Address with IPMI enabled. For troubleshooting IPMI shell errors, see the Dell OpenManage
Baseboard Management Controller Utilities User’s Guide on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

• The MOM agent software must be installed on all Dell-managed systems either remotely from the
management station or manually on the managed system.
• For discovered systems to be recognized as Dell devices in the MOM environment,
