openmanage essentials licensing model

rob

thanks for the reply

greetings!!!!

OME is free for monitoring...regardless of the number of devices.

There is an upsell component that involves a special iDRAC license.  But that is only if you want to use it for configuring settings on servers remotely.

You might be thinking of OpenManage Network Manager...that's a tool for managing switches and such.

Hi Rob;

can we have an official whitepaper or document where this licensing model is explained ? need it for a deal with a customer.

Hi there,

Right, OME is free unless customers want to use the server configuration features (described in the top of delltechcenter.com/ome).  To use the server config stuff they need an iDrac enterprise license _with_ the OME option attached to it.  I forget what the specific name is.  Let me know on the internal email group if you need more background.

Thanks!

OME 2.1  regarding alert settings, not able to receive email alerts.

Is there any specific setting required while configuring the alerts.

Hi There,

Thanks for your post!

To receive email alerts, a SMTP server is required. So, while creating an email alert action task in OME you would need to provided the SMTP settings(server name\ip address), which will enable OME to send email alerts.

Or you can also configure SMTP settings from "Settings > Email Settings".

Hope this helps!

Thanks

OME is free of charge, only the OS deployment and server configuration is a license on top of the iDRAC.
