Licensing

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

OEM servers, 12th or 13th generation of Dell 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_3_0.jar –relinquish=FXQY2CS

NOTE:

You cannot use -relinquish with other options.
