Using Server Administrator
The Server Administrator provides a convenient and easy-to-use GUI for
remotely configuring or managing your system's BMC on a system running a
supported operating system. You can use the Server Administrator to
configure the most relevant BMC features, such as Platform Event Filter
(PEF) parameters and alert destinations. Additionally, Server Administrator
can be used as a command line interface. Server Administrator requires that
the system has an operating system installed and functioning. As a result,
Server Administrator is best suited for everyday BMC management tasks, and
is not an option for performing pre-boot setup or accessing the BMC as an
emergency management console. To use Server Administrator, you must
perform the following tasks:
•
Install Server Administrator on the managed system.
•
Access the Server Administrator home page remotely or locally from a
supported browser on a management station.
•
Configure BMC remotely or locally on the managed system.
See the Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator User's Guide and Command
line Interface User's Guide on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com,
the Dell Systems Documentation CD, or the Dell Systems Management Tools
and Documentation DVD for more information about using Server
Administrator to configure and manage your system BMC.
