Setup and Administration 27
• The Server Administrator Remote Access Controller service requires that a
remote access controller (RAC) be installed on the system to be managed.
See the relevant Dell Remote Access Controller User’s Guide
for complete
software and hardware requirements
NOTE: The RAC software is installed as part of the Typical Setup installation
option, when installing managed system software, provided that the managed
system meets all of the RAC installation prerequisites. See the relevant Dell
Remote Access Controller User’s Guide for complete software and hardware
requirements.
• The Server Administrator Storage Management Service requires that Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator be installed on the system in order to
be properly managed. See the
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
Storage Management User’s Guide
for complete software and
hardware requirements.
• Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) version 3.1 or later
NOTE: Dell OpenManage software detects the MSI version on your system.
If the version is lower than 3.1, the Prerequisite Checker prompts you to
upgrade to MSI version 3.1. After upgrading the MSI to version 3.1, you may
have to reboot the system in order to install other software applications such
as Microsoft SQL Server.
Supported Systems Management Protocol Standards
A supported systems management protocol must be installed on the managed
system before installing your management station or managed system
software. On supported Windows and Linux operating systems, Dell
OpenManage software supports: Common Information Model (CIM),
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), and Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). You must install the SNMP package provided
with the operating system.
NOTE: For information about installing a supported systems management protocol
standard on your managed system, see your operating system documentation.
