Dell Systems Management - OpenManage Software Support Matrix Version 7.4

Starting with Dell OpenManage Server Administrator version 5.0, only the enhanced Storage Management Service is supported. The Storage Management Service allows you to configure and manage your storage devices from within Server Administrator.

Most of the systems management releases support management of RAID controllers in the form of PERC cards, and some systems management releases also support CERC IDE and SATA controllers. System administrators responsible for monitoring the compatibility of their systems' storage devices need a clear matrix that shows the elements that are compatible with a particular storage controller. Each storage controller version in turn supports a specific array of elements, including:

• Version of the Storage Management Service
• Dell system
• Firmware version number required for a particular controller
• Supported operating systems, where each operating system requires a specific driver

For more information on Storage Management Services see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide and the Dell OpenManage Storage Management User's Guide at www.dell.com/support/manuals.
