Take a look at Dell OpenManage Essentials (OME)

OpenManage Essentials is a systems management console that provides simple, basic Dell hardware management and is available as a free download.

Dell OpenManage Essentials is the latest release of our easy to install, intuitively simple to use, and customer-acclaimed, One-to-Many systems management console that is optimized to provide comprehensive lifecycle management of Dell PowerEdge converged, rack and tower servers. OpenManage Essentials also delivers extensive infrastructure health monitoring, control, and support for Dell servers, storage, networking, business clients, firewall appliances, and 3rd party hardware.

This looks amazing, but can it be managed exclusively from Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

Due to the hardening and security requirements of our systems, we would prefer to keep our environment exclusively RHEL.

Thank you,

Not at this time, OME is Windows based software that uses IIS Web server and SQL Express for the database.
That may change in the future.

The management from OME is Out-of-Band, so directly to the iDRAC's and completly OS agnostic.

One other option might be to look at our Linux repo at http://linux.dell.com/

Hi,

You can try using Linux yum repository using the DSU tool.

Documentation can be found here .

You may also do local repo sync with this yum repository and update machines one by one.

Thanks
