Using Dell OpenManage with VMware®ESXServer™Software
See the VMware Systems Compatibility Guide located in the Resource Center at www.dell.com/vmware to determine the versions of ESX Server software
compatible with this release of Dell OpenManage. Each ESX Server release from Dell has an associated Dell VMware ESX Server Deployment Guide, also posted
at this Web location. Instructions for installing supported versions of Dell OpenManage available at the time of that ESX Server release are found in that ESX
Server release's Deployment Guide. Instructions for installing any supported subsequently released versions of Dell OpenManage are posted to the same
location in a separate, clearly labeled document.
Managed System Software Installation Using Third-Party Deployment Software
You can use third-party deployment software, such as Altiris Deployment Solution, to install managed system software onto supported Dell servers. To
distribute and install managed system software using Altiris, start your Altiris application and import OpenManage_Jobs.bin located on the DellPowerEdge
Installation and Server Management CD at \srvadmin\support\Altiris. Specify a job folder into which you want to import it. You might need to modify the Run
