42 Server Administrator Services
Managing Your System
The Server Administrator home page defaults to the System object of the
system tree view. The default for the System object opens the Health
components under the Properties tab.
NOTE: For detailed information on every window of Server Administrator, see the
context-sensitive online help.
NOTE: Administrator or Power User privileges are required to view many of the
system tree objects, system components, action tabs, and data area features that
are configurable. Additionally, only users logged in with Administrator privileges
can access critical system features such as the shutdown functionality included
under the Shutdown tab.
Managing System/Server Module Tree Objects
The Server Administrator system/server module tree displays all visible system
objects based on the software and hardware groups that Server Administrator
discovers on the managed system and on the user's access privileges. The
system components are categorized by component type. When you expand
the main object—"Modular Enclosure"—"System/Server Module"—the
major categories of system components that may appear are, "Main System
Chassis/Main System," "Software," and "Storage."
If Storage Management Service is installed, depending on the controller and
storage attached to the system, the Storage tree object will expand to display
various objects.
For detailed information on the Storage Management Service component, see
the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management User's Guide.
