Dell OpenManage Server Administrator

based GUI (the Server Administrator home page) and from a command line interface (CLI) through the operating system. Server Administrator allows you to
manage NAS systems on a network locally and remotely and to focus on managing the entire network with comprehensive, one-to-one system management.
Server Administrator provides information about:
l Systems that are operating properly and systems that have problems
l Systems that require updates
l Systems that require remote recovery operations
Integrated Features
Server Administrator provides easy-to-use management and administration of local and remote systems through a comprehensive set of integrated
management services. Server Administrator resides solely on the managed system and is accessible both locally and remotely from the Server Administrator
home page. Server Administrator ensures the security of its management connections through role-based access control (RBAC), authentication, and industry-
standard secure socket layer (SSL) encryption.
Server Administrator Home Page
The Server Administrator home page provides easy-to-set-up and easy-to-use Web browser-based system management from the managed node system or
from a remote host through a LAN, dial-up service, or wireless network. When the NAS system is installed and configured on the managed node system, you
can perform remote management functions from any system that has a supported Web browser and connection. Additionally, the Server Administrator home
page provides extensive, context-sensitive online help.
Instrumentation Service
The Instrumentation Service provides rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by industry-standard systems management agents
and allows remote administration of monitored systems, including shut down, start up, and security.
Remote Access Service
