16 Server Administrator Services
Storage Management Service
Express Setup installs the Storage Management Service (earlier known as the enhanced Storage
Management Service) by default on Microsoft
®
Windows
®
. On Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux and
SUSE
®
LINUX Enterprise Server systems, you can either install the Storage Management Service
through the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) or use the
srvadmin-install.sh script—a menu driven script that installs the appropriate RPMs based on
the options you choose.
NOTE: The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system provides drivers for some of the RAID controllers listed in
the "RAID Controller Supported Servers, Operating Systems, Firmware, and Driver Versions" section.
See the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide for more information on Storage
Management Service.
Logs
Server Administrator displays logs of commands issued to or by the system, monitored hardware events,
