• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (version 9), SP3, x86_64 (BMC
management utility and RAC Management Station)
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (version 10) Gold x86_64
NOTE: The Dell OpenManage 5.3 installer offers Multilingual User Interface
support on Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2,
Express x64 Edition with Unified Storage, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2,
Workgroup x64 Edition with Unified Storage, Windows Server 2008 (x86 and x64),
and Windows Vista operating systems. The Multilingual User Interface Pack is a set
of language specific resource files that can be added to the English version of a
supported Windows operating system. However, the Dell OpenManage 5.3 installer
supports only five languages: German, Spanish, French, Simplified Chinese, and
Japanese
For more application-specific operating systems requirements, see the
documentation for that application.
System Requirements
On Windows systems, the setup program (setup.exe) runs the Prerequisite
Checker to automatically analyze your system to determine if the system
requirements have been met. (See “Prerequisite Checker.”)
Management Station Requirements
Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) version 3.1 or later is required on your
system. 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.
IT Assistant Database Requirements
A fresh installation of IT Assistant 8.x or greater prompts you to install
Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005 Express Edition in the absence of a supported
database on your system. SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be installed
using your Dell Systems Console and Agent CD or the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD, before installing the
management station software. However, IT Assistant works with Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000), if it is already installed on
your system. If you are upgrading from IT Assistant 7.x to 8.x or greater, you
can use the existing MSDE 2000.
