1 Introduction The Systems Management Software Support Matrix helps identify OpenManage software and other Dell components supported on Dell PowerEdge, browsers, and operating systems. This guide is intended for system administrators and technicians. The guide provides information about the available Dell systems, the operating systems supported by these systems, and the OpenManage components that can be installed on these systems.
Accessing documents from the Dell EMC support site You can access the required documents using the following links: • For Dell EMC Enterprise Systems Management documents — Dell.com/SoftwareSecurityManuals • For Dell EMC OpenManage documents — Dell.com/OpenManageManuals • For Dell EMC Remote Enterprise Systems Management documents — Dell.com/esmmanuals • For iDRAC and Dell EMC Lifecycle Controller documents — Dell.

2 In-band server management and monitoring In-band server management is the process of managing and monitoring servers using operating system tools, and other inbuilt tools, using OpenManage Server Administrator. Topics: • Supported OpenManage Systems Management Software • OpenManage Server Administrator v9.0.
An asterisk (*) in the intersection of the operating system and the Dell system columns indicates operating system support for Dell systems that do not support OpenManage software. Table 3. Supported OpenManage 9.0.1 Systems Management Software on Systems Running Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft Windows Small Business Server Operating Systems Dell System Windows Server 2016 R740 X R740XD X R640 X R940 X C6420 X Table 4. Supported OpenManage 9.0.
Supported OpenManage Systems Management Software On Virtualization Operating Systems An X in the intersection of the operating system and the Dell system columns indicates that the Server Administrator is supported on that operating system for the corresponding Dell system. An asterisk ( * ) in the intersection of the operating system and the Dell system columns indicates operating system support for Dell systems that do not support OpenManage software. The following table lists the supported OpenManage 9.

Table 9.
Supported OpenManage Systems Management Consoles OpenManage systems management consoles provide the necessary tools for remote or one-to-many group system management. These tools also consolidate the management applications used on management workstations. OpenManage Systems Management Consoles include: • OpenManage Essentials v2.3 • OpenManage Mobile v2.0 • OpenManage Power Center v 4.0 • OpenManage Server Administrator v9.0.1 OpenManage Essentials v2.
Supported Linux Operating Systems For Power Center v3.3 The following table lists the supported Linux Operating Systems for the power center. Table 13. Supported Linux Operating Systems Supported Linux Operating Systems Power Center Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 (64-bit) X Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 (64-bit) X SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 (64-bit) X Supported web browsers for In-band management and monitoring The list of supported web browsers for OpenManage 9.0.
3 Out-of-band server management and monitoring Out-of-band server management is the process of remotely managing and monitoring servers using Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller. Topics: • Supported Integrated Dell Remote Access Controllers and solutions • iDRAC Service Module 3.0.
• 2.xx.yy.zz • xx is the iDRAC firmware version • yy is the power & thermal table version • zz is the Lifecycle Controller version For 14th generation of Dell PowerEdge servers, the iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller firmware is a single image. iDRAC ships from the factory with a default, static IP address, with either Express or Enterprise licenses. This is a preferred and known method.
iDRAC Service Module 3.0.1 The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller(iDRAC) Service Module is a lightweight optional software application that can be installed on 14th generation of Dell PowerEdge servers or later with minimum Firmware version of 3.00.00.00 for iDRAC9. The iDRAC Service Module complements iDRAC interfaces – Graphical User Interface (GUI), RACADM CLI and Web Service Management (WS-MAN) with additional monitoring data.
On the 14th generation of Dell PowerEdge servers, Lifecycle Controller is known as Lifecycle Controller 3 (includes GUI and Remote Services). The functionalities available are based on the generation of the server and the variant of Lifecycle Controller: • Lifecycle Controller GUI 3.00.00.00 — Lifecycle Controller GUI supports systems management tasks such as deploy, configure, update, maintain, and diagnose in a one-to-one method. • Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services 3.00.00.

4 Supported OpenManage Change Management Software OpenManage change management software is a set of tools that enables you to update Dell systems easily. It is also an efficient way to manage hardware, software, and operating system updates.
An asterisk ( * ) in the intersection of the operating system and the Dell system columns indicates operating system support for Dell systems that do not support OpenManage software. NOTE: SUU is used for server updates and may not work on newly released Dell systems that do not receive any server updates. NOTE: DSS1500, DSS1510, and DSS2500 are supported only by SUU of Change management and not supported by OM. The following table lists the supported OpenManage 9.0.

5 OpenManage Systems Management tools for inband and out-of-band access OpenManage Systems Management tools or utilities provide the necessary tools for remote or one-to-many group system management. These tools also consolidate the management applications used on management workstations.
It is recommended to use the RACADM Command Line (CLI) as a replacement for the RAIDCFG and SYSCFG utilities. For more information on downloading RACADM, see support.dell.com. NOTE: DTK will continue to support any new hardware or operating system for the 14th generation of PowerEdge servers. However, support for later generations of PowerEdge servers will be deprecated. For more information about features supported by DTK, see the latest User's Guide available at dell.com/openmanagemanuals .
