Storage Management Service

The Storage Management Service provides storage management information in an integrated graphical view. The Storage

Storage Management Service obtains logical and physical information about attached storage devices from the Dell

OpenManage Array Manager managed node.

The Diagnostic Service provides a suite of diagnostic programs that run locally on your system or remotely on a system

connected to the network. The Diagnostic Service is engineered to diagnose problems on individual systems and to run

concurrently with all other applications running on the system under test.

The Update Service provides up-to-date version control and valuable change management tools for performing BIOS and

firmware version updates on your local system.

Using Remote Access Controllers

The Server Administrator Remote Access Service provides a complete remote system management solution for SNMP- and

CIM-instrumented systems equipped with a Dell ERA controller, a DRAC III, or a Dell Embedded Remote Access Option

(ERA/O) card. These hardware and software solutions are collectively known as remote access controllers (RACs).

The Remote Access Service provides remote access to an inoperable system, allowing you to get the system up and running

as quickly as possible. The Remote Access Service also provides alert notification when a system is down and allows you to

remotely restart a system. Additionally, the Remote Access Service logs the probable cause of system crashes and saves the

most recent crash screen.
