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.
Structure of this guide OpenManage solutions and tools allow customers to quickly respond to problems by helping them to manage Dell servers effectively and efficiently; in physical, virtual, local, and remote environments, operating in-band and out-of-band (agent-free). This guide is organized on the basis of in-band and out-of-band management and monitoring.

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 v9.1.
Table 3. Supported OpenManage 9.1.2 Systems Management Software on Systems Running Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft Windows Small Business Server Operating Systems Dell Systems Windows Server 2016 Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 MX740c X X MX840c X X 14th generation servers Supported OpenManage Systems Management Software on Linux Operating Systems The following table lists the supported OpenManage 9.1.
OpenManage Server Administrator v9.1.2 OpenManage Server Administrator Web Server allows you to remotely manage and monitor your entire network of managed systems from your system. However, for laptop and desktop you are required to use OM 9.1 Web Server. You have to install Server Administrator Web Server on your system and install server instrumentation on the managed systems.
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 v2.0.1 • OpenManage Power Center v 4.0 • OpenManage Server Administrator v9.1 OpenManage Essentials v2.
Microsoft Windows Power Center Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 X Supported Linux Operating Systems For Power Center v4.0 The following table lists the supported Linux Operating Systems for the power center. Table 10. Supported Linux Operating Systems Supported Linux Operating Systems Power Center Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
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.
• • • T640 R940 C6420 DRAC also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the Microsoft Windows operating system only) to help diagnose the probable cause of a system crash. For more information, see the Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide or the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.
Controller (BMC) capabilities. The UEFI environment provides the local console interface and the infrastructure for locally managed system components. It simplifies the end-to-end server lifecycle management. 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 3.20.20.

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 9.1.
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: You can install OMSA using VIB file on Embedded VMware (ESXi) operating systems. NOTE: DUPs are not supported on ESXi operating systems. The following table lists the supported OpenManage 9.1.2 change management software on systems running supported Virtualization operating systems. Table 16.
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 .
