Managed Node for Linux, or OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA), is a comprehensive systems management tool for PowerEdge™ servers. OMSA 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 system being managed and is accessible both locally and remotely from the Server Administrator home page. Remotely monitored systems may be accessed by dial-in, LAN, or wireless connections. Server Administrator ensures the security of its management connections through role-based access control (RBAC), authentication, and industry-standard secure socket layer (SSL) encryption
Services and Features: * 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 shutdown, startup, and security.
* Storage Management Service - provides storage management information in an integrated graphical view. The Storage Management Service of Server Administrator: - Enables you to view the status of local and remote storage attached to a monitored system. - Supports SCSI, SATA, ATA, and SAS. Does not support Fibre Channel. - Allows you to perform controller and enclosure functions for all supported RAID and non-RAID controllers and enclosures from a single graphical or command line interface without the use of the controller BIOS utilities. - Protects your data by configuring data redundancy, assigning hot spares, or rebuilding failed drives. - Provides features for configuring storage
* Remote Access Service - provides a complete, remote system management solution for systems equipped with a DRAC solution. The Remote Access Service provides remote access to an inoperable system, allowing you to get the system up and running as quickly as possible. The Remote Access Service also provides alert notification when a system is down and allows you to remotely restart a system. Additionally, the Remote Access Service logs the probable cause of system crashes and saves the most recent crash screen.
* Logs - OMSA displays logs of commands issued to or by the system, monitored hardware events, POST events, and system alerts. You can view logs on the home page, print or save them as reports, and send them by e-mail to a designated service contact.
