Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 7.3 User's Guide

Availability On Supported Operating Systems

On supported Microsoft Windows operating systems, Server Administrator supports two systems management standards: CIM/Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and SNMP, while on supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems, Server Administrator supports the SNMP systems management standard.

Server Administrator adds considerable security to these systems management standards. All attributes set operations (for example, changing the value of an asset tag) must be performed with Dell OpenManage IT Assistant while logged in with the required privileges.

The following table shows the systems management standards that are available for each supported operating system.
