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 requiring the use 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. For
more information, see the Dell OpenManage Storage Management User's Guide
