Installing Management
Station Software
Overview
The Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD provides a
setup program to install, upgrade, and uninstall Dell OpenManage™
management station software on your system.
Using the setup program you can install and upgrade the management station
software on systems running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating systems.
You can uninstall Dell OpenManage management station software using the
DVD, or through the operating system on systems running supported
Windows operating systems.
The management station applications include Dell OpenManage IT Assistant,
DRAC Tools, the BMC Utilities, and the Microsoft Active Directory
®
Snap-in Utility.
Except IT Assistant and the Active Directory Snap-in, all management
station applications also run on Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux
®
and SUSE
®
Linux Enterprise Server operating systems. See "Installing, Upgrading, and
Uninstalling Management Station Software on Systems Running Supported
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Operating
Systems" for more information.
NOTE: See the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant User's Guide for additional setup
and configuration information.
NOTE: The Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD contains
version 5.4 of the Dell OpenManage systems management software kit and version
1.0.3 of the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility. The root of the DVD also contains
ISO images of the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility (version 1.0) and the Dell
Systems Console and Agent CD (Dell OpenManage software version 5.3.0.1). You
can use these ISO images to create CDs for systems that do not have DVD drives.
However, if you need version 1.0.3 of the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility (to
support x6xx and x7xx Dell systems and Windows Server 2008 operating systems),
you can download the ISO image from the Dell Support site at support.dell.com. You
can also download Web packages of versions 5.4 of the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator and Dell OpenManage Management Station software from the Dell
Support site at support.dell.com. You can transfer the contents of these Web
packages to CDs or USB keys for systems that do not have DVD drives.
