Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) retirement
Hi
On all our existing servers we have used Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) which has worked really well as it writes any hardware event issues e.g. RAID, Temp, Fans etc to the event log, so our event log alerting software then sees them and sends us emails for anything urgent.
Now this has been retired and replaced with the iDRAC Service Module (iSM) I believe which seems to not have the same functionality at all.
Is there any still supported Dell tool I can install on Server 2025 which will write events to event log for any Dell hardware issues such as RAID failure, Disk issues, temperature / fan issues, PSU issues etc
No Events found!

Hello,

You can review user guide and specifically Alert management section.

Alternatively you may consider OME.

Quite happy to continue using OMSA, but it says it is end of life and not supported on server 2025, hence asking the question. So can I ignore the website and suggestion 2025 is not supported and still install it?

Hello, you can opt for whichever you want, but latest OMSA is not validated for Windows 2025.

Okay thank you. OMSA seems to be the only one which writes events to event log for me to catch with my monitoring software. OR does OME do that too?
