OpenManage consoleThe central console in a systems management solution is often referred to as the one-to-many console. The central console providesa rapid view and insight into the overall health of all systems in the IT environment. The Dell EMC systems management portfolioincludes several powerful consoles, depending upon your needs, including the following:• OpenManage Enterprise-Modular Edition - OpenManage Enterprise - Modular Edition (OME - Modular) is the systemsmanagement software that runs on the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX-series chassis. OME-Modular shares a common code basewith OpenManage Enterprise, delivering an agile, reliable and comprehensive platform to manage PowerEdge MX servers,storage and networking. OME-Modular boosts services delivery and restores IT agility for growing businesses. A unified web andRESTful API interface manages all nodes including compute, storage, and networking. This helps reduce costs, learning curve,and consolidates multiple tools for ease of access and monitoring. Simplified administration helps deploy and monitor at scale,from one to many chassis, with support for remote management. The agile and intelligent automation of OME - Modular helpsenable faster hardware deployments and reduces repetitive tasks for accelerated life cycle management. Some of the keyfeatures of OME-Modular include:– Shares the same code base as OpenManage Enterprise making it easy for customers to move from one console to the other– or utilize both– Capability to manage servers across multiple MX-series chassis– Fast deployment with automatic chassis and node discovery– Comprehensive RESTful API to automate multiple tasks and integrate with third-party tools– Touchscreen display and OpenManage Mobile support for easy access– Expanded management across all PowerEdge servers with OpenManage Enterprise– Easily extend management into VMware vCenter and Microsoft System Center environments as well as others includingAnsible, with Dell EMC Connections and Integrations• Dell EMC OpenManage Essentials—OpenManage Essentials (OME) is a systems management console that provides acomprehensive view of Dell EMC systems, devices, and components in an enterprise network. OpenManage Essentials isavailable as a no-charge software download from Dell.com/Support. When connected through OME, you can use Dell EMCOpenManage Mobile (OMM) to securely perform a subset of data center monitoring and remediation tasks from a mobile device.• OpenManage Power Center—Dell EMC’s power management solution, the Dell EMC OpenManage Power Center (OMPC)management console, provides increased visibility to power consumption, anomalies, and utilization through fine-grainedinstrumentation. This enables increased control, improved rack density, faster response times, greater accuracy, and broaderdecision-making intelligence than would otherwise be possible. When used with a suitably licensed PowerEdge server (with a DelliDRAC Enterprise license), OMPC leverages Intel Node Manager technology for platform-level power reporting and capping ofIntel chipsets. Power Center then communicates with iDRAC to provide node, rack, row or data-center level aggregation ofpower-management data, as well as execution of control policy — making it easy for IT professionals to identify areas to gainefficiencies and cut wasteful costs.OpenManage systems management tools, utilities and protocolsOpenManage systems management tools and utilities consist of the following:• Dell EMC Repository Manager: The Dell EMC Repository Manager (RM) is a stand-alone GUI-based productivity tool that helpssimplify the process of managing downloads and baseline BIOS, firmware and driver updates. Repository Manager can createdeployment disks as well as create and manage customized repositories.• Dell EMC Update Packages: The Dell EMC Update Packages (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a standard package formatthat updates a software element on a Dell EMC server such as the BIOS, a driver, firmware and other software updates.• Dell EMC OpenManage Deployment Toolkit: The Dell EMC OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) is a CLI-based tool thatincludes a set of utilities for configuring and deploying Dell EMC PowerEdge systems, and can be used to build scripted,unattended OS installations to deploy large numbers of servers in a reliable fashion.• RACADM: The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to locally or remotely configureiDRAC7.• IPMITool: IPMITool includes scriptable console application programs used to control and manage remote systems using the IPMIversion 1.5 and later protocol.31
