Operating Systems
Overview
You can install managed system software using several methods. The Dell™ PowerEdge™ Installation
and Server Management CD provides a setup program to install, upgrade, and uninstall managed
system software features on your managed systems. You can install the software on multiple systems
through an unattended installation across a network.
The managed system features that you can install include Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator,
the Intel
®
SNMP agent, and the Broadcom SNMP agent.
From within Server Administrator, you can choose the Server Administrator Web server (not
choosing it restricts you to use Server Administrator only from its command line interface),
Diagnostic Service, Remote Access Service, and Storage Management Service subfeatures.
NOTE: Dell OpenManage Array Manager is not available under Windows if no previous Managed System
software (with Array Manager installed) is detected. It is only available as an upgrade. Support for Array
Manager will be discontinued in a future release. It is recommended that you switch to use Storage
Management Service where applicable.
NOTE: DRAC III and DRAC 4 cannot be used together, and Array Manager and Server Administrator Storage
Management Service cannot be installed on the same system. See the Server Administrator User’s Guide for
further details about installing Array Manager and Storage Management.
Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD
The Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD provides a setup program to install,
upgrade, and uninstall managed system software features on your managed systems. Additionally,
you can install the features on multiple systems through an unattended installation across a network.
Using the setup program in the Windows directory on the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server
Management CD, you can install and upgrade Server Administrator on systems running all
supported operating systems. On systems running supported Microsoft Windows operating systems,
you can uninstall the features through the operating system.
NOTE: See the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD’s readme_ins.txt file for a list of the
systems that are currently supported.
