Deployment Guide
NOTE:
Managed system applications such as Server Administrator, and remote
access controller (RAC) software are not used inside the virtual machines
because the software would only see the virtualized hardware and not the
physical hardware.
NOTE:
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator will run within the VMware
Service Console and can be used to manage the server components. Devices
which are dedicated exclusively to the VMkernel are not reported by Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator and Service Console. Server Administrator
can only monitor hardware components that are shared with the VMware
Service Console. The following devices are dedicated exclusively to VMkernel:
• CPU1, CPU2, and CPU3 on PE6650 or CPU1 on PE 2850 and PE 1850
• Network Interface Cards and Host Bus Adapter (HBA) which are dedicated
to virtual machines
Using the Dell Remote Access Card III (DRAC III) on PE 6650
If a DRAC III remote access card has been installed in your system, you
should also install the ppp-2.4.1-2.i386.rpm package before installing the
OpenManage Server Administrator. This file can be found on the
ESX Server 2.1 Installation CD. Insert the installation CD into the systems
CD-ROM drive and install the rpm in the Service Console using
the commands:
mount /dev/cdrom
rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/VMware/RPMS/
ppp-2.4.1-2.i386.rpm
umount /dev/cdrom
