User Privileges
Server Administrator provides security through the User, Power User, and
Administrator user groups. Each user group is assigned a different level of
access to the Server Administrator features.
Administrator privileges are required to access all Storage Management
features. Administrator privilege allows you to execute the drop-down menu
tasks, launch wizards, and use the omconfig storage command line interface
commands. Without Administrator privileges, you cannot manage and
configure the storage component.
User and Power User privileges allow you to view storage status, but not
manage or configure storage. With User and Power User privileges, you can
use the omreport storage command and not the omconfig storage
command.
For more information on user groups and other Server Administrator security
features, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User’s Guide.
Using the Graphical User Interface
The following sections describe how to access the Storage Management
features using the Server Administrator graphical user interface (GUI).
Storage Object
The Server Administrator tree view displays a Storage object. The Storage
Management features are accessible by selecting the Storage object or
expanding the Storage object and selecting a lower-level object.
Health Subtab
The Health subtab displays status information for the storage components.
For more information, see

Information/Configuration Subtab
The Information/Configuration subtab displays the property information for
a storage object. The Information/Configuration subtabs also have drop
down menus and buttons for executing storage tasks or launching wizards.
