iDRAC Service Module
The iDRAC Service Module (iSM) is a lightweight optional software application that can be installed
on Dell PowerEdge server (12
RACADM CLI, and Web Service Management (WSMAN) with additional monitoring data. You can
configure the features on the supported operating system depending on the features to be installed
and the unique integration needs in a work environment.

Dell consoles

The central console in a systems management solution is often referred to as the one-to-many
console. The central console provides a rapid view and insight into the overall health of all systems
in the IT environment. The Dell systems management portfolio includes several powerful consoles,
depending upon your needs, including the following:

Dell OpenManage Essentials—OpenManage Essentials (OME) is a systems management console
that provides a comprehensive view of Dell systems, devices, and components in an enterprise
network. It is used to monitor Dell PowerEdge servers, EqualLogic and PowerVault storage, and
PowerConnect™ switches; to update and configure Dell servers; and to create asset reports.
OpenManage Essentials also communicates health status alerts for Dell servers, storage, and
network devices to the Dell KACE™ K1000 service desk. OpenManage Essentials is available as a
no-charge software download from Dell.com/Support. When connected through OME, you can
use Dell OpenManage Mobile (OMM) to securely perform a subset of data center monitoring and
remediation tasks from a mobile device.

OpenManage Power Center—Dell's power management solution, the Dell OpenManage Power
Center (OMPC) management console, provides increased visibility to power consumption,
anomalies, and utilization through fine-grained instrumentation. This enables increased control,
improved rack density, faster response times, greater accuracy, and broader decision-making
intelligence than would otherwise be possible. When used with a suitably licensed PowerEdge
server (with a Dell iDRAC Enterprise license), OMPC leverages Intel Node Manager technology
for platform-level power reporting and capping of Intel chipsets. Power Center then
communicates with iDRAC to provide node, rack, row or data-center level aggregation of
power-management data, as well as execution of control policy — making it easy for IT
professionals to identify areas to gain efficiencies and cut wasteful costs.
OpenManage systems management tools, utilities and protocols
Dell OpenManage systems management tools and utilities consist of the following:

Dell Repository Manager: The Dell Repository Manager (RM) is a standalone GUI-based
productivity tool that helps simplify the process of managing downloads and baseline BIOS,
firmware and driver updates. Repository Manager can create deployment disks as well as create
and manage customized repositories.

Dell Update Packages: The Dell Update Packages (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a
standard package format that updates a software element on a Dell server such as the BIOS,
a driver, firmware and other software updates.

Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit: The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) is a
CLI-based tool that includes a set of utilities for configuring and deploying Dell PowerEdge
systems, and can be used to build scripted, unattended OS installations to deploy large numbers
of servers in a reliable fashion.
