Configuring Your BMC Using Server
Administrator
You can also configure the BMC options using Server Administrator Version 5.3,
which is a one-to-one systems management software program that must be
installed on the managed system. Once installed, you can remotely access
Server Administrator from a management station with a supported browser to
perform BMC configuration tasks. See the Server Administrator User's Guide
for more information about installing and using Server Administrator.
You can configure the BMC settings from either the Server Administrator
home page or from its command line interface. Users must have
Administrator privileges to access the BMC settings. Users logged in with
User or Power User group privileges can view the BMC information but
cannot change the settings.
See the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Command Line Interface
User's Guide for information about configuring the BMC from the command line.
