Dell OpenManage Storage Management
The Dell OpenManage Storage Management is a storage management application for Dell systems that
provides enhanced features for configuring a system's locally-attached RAID and Non-RAID disk storage.
The Dell OpenManage storage management application enables you to perform controller and enclosure
functions for all supported RAID controllers and enclosures from a single graphical or command-line
interface without using of the controller BIOS utilities. The graphical user interface (GUI) is wizard-driven
with features for novice and advanced users, and detailed online help. Using the Dell OpenManage
storage management application, you can protect your data by configuring data-redundancy, assigning
hot spares, or rebuilding failed physical disks. The command line interface available on selected operating
systems to perform RAID management tasks is fully featured and scriptable.
