6 Dell OpenManage Plug- in Version 2.0 for Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c | A00
• Device specific one-to-one console launch from OEM console – OpenManage Plug- in for OEM
enables the DBAs/IT administrators to perform further troubleshooting after the issue has been
identified. The OpenManage plug- in allows the administrator to take corrective action through link
and launch of device- specific element management tools. It also helps to perform configuration,
update, and management of Dell devices. The following are the one-to- one Dell tools supported
by the OpenManage plug- in through the OEM console:
o Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) console
o OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) console
o EqualLogic Group Manager console
o Compellent Storage Manager console
o Chassis Management Controller (CMC) and VRTX CMC console
o OpenManage Switch Administrator console
• One-to-many console launch of OpenManage Essentials from Oracle Enterprise Manager – This
feature enables the administrator to view detailed inventory information of Dell devices and to
perform configuration, update, and management of multiple Dell hardware through OpenManage
Essentials.
The OpenManage plug- in integrates with OpenManage Essentials to retrieve hardware information to the
OEM console and is a mandatory component that must be installed on a physical server or virtual
machine. Multiple OpenManage plug- in instances may be pointed at the same Oracle Enterprise Manager
environment at a given time. This includes instances on the same Oracle Management Agent (OMA) or
instances on a separate OMA. However, each additional plug- in instance added increases the total amount
of queries made to the OpenManage Essentials environment.
