Installing Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator
Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator (OMSA) must be installed on the
DPM server to provide the following benefits:
• Monitors the state of the system and storage subsystems
• Provide alerts of failing components to avoid unplanned downtime
• Creates and manages RAID 5 virtual disks
NOTE:
OMSA should be installed from the Dell Systems Console and Agent CD
included with your system. For more details on installation procedures, refer to the
"Installing Server Administrator" section of the
Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator User's Guide.
NOTE:
During the OMSA installation, if prompted, choose the Storage
Management option. This options installs features that help manage the PowerVault
Data Protection Solution storage devices.
The OMSA user guide and the OMSA application are located on the Dell
Systems Console and Agent CD and can be downloaded from
