can view the health of the devices on her network by clicking View Devices.
The performance status of the devices rolls up into overall system health
status and is displayed in the Devices view.
To manage the devices displayed with a warning or critical state, Jane can
select the following options available as part of the Application Launch feature
(right-click a device and select Application Launch):
• Dell OpenManage Server Administrator — the Web browser is launched
with the Web address corresponding to the Server Administrator
application for the selected device. However, this option is available only
on systems that have the Server Administrator Web stack enabled.
• Array Manager — the Array Manager console is launched. The Array Manager
console must be installed on the system where the IT Assistant UI is running.
• RAC Console — IT Assistant launches the RAC that it discovers through
out-of-band or inband through the server agent.
