Introduction
This guide is intended for users who manage the Dell™ OpenManage™ Connection for
Tivoli Enterprise Console
®
(hereafter referred to as the Connection).
The Connection is a systems management plug-in that extends the management of Dell PowerEdge™
systems and Dell PowerVault™ storage systems to users of the Tivoli Enterprise Console management
product. It allows users to integrate the management of Dell systems to make them easier to manage.
The Connection also allows systems management professionals to take corrective action on Dell
systems when a Dell-specific alert is received at the enterprise. These alerts include, but are not
limited to, temperature, fan speed, and chassis intrusion.
NOTE: Starting with Dell OpenManage 5.0, Dell OpenManage Array Manager is no longer an installable option.
If you have an Array Manager installation and need information on how to migrate from Array Manager to Storage
Management, refer to the product documentation prior to Storage Management 2.1 or Dell OpenManage 5.1.
Support for Array Manager has been withdrawn from the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server
Management CD version 5.0 and later.
