Dell OpenManage
Guys,
This is my first time posting on this forum so bare with me here! We have a number of PowerEdge servers in out enviroment and we have an OpenManage management server.
I'm looking for the OpenManage agent to install on my PowerEdge servers. When I go to the Dell website I found the following under management software "Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node (Distribution Specific)". Is this the agent?
Thanks is advance.

I'm currently testing rolling out the agent to the ESX servers. So far I've managed to install OpenManage on one of our test servers in the lab. I now need to setup an OpenManage
management server.
Can I use the same software I downloaded for the agent? Can I set up the management server on a VM?
Thanks.

I'll be honest, I'm hanging with ITA because we had it before DMC existed and it works for us. DMC is probably a better bet these days, but I'll defer to Scott to answer that.
Also, for installing the OpenManage Managed Node agent on ESX, Scott has some script resources at: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/Install+and+Configure+OMSA+on+ESX.

One rub about ITA, it won;t run on ANY 64-bit OS, as I found out when I tried to migrate it to Windows Server 2008 R2 a while back.
