Dell OpenManage Enterprise—Modular Edition

The Dell OpenManage Enterprise—Modular Edition (OME-Modular Edition) helps to transform how you manage the infrastructure and enable the business quickly. It is a unified web or RESTful API interface that manages all the nodes including compute and networking. It helps reduce costs and consolidates multiple tools for ease of access and monitoring. The simplified administration helps deploy and monitor at scale, from one to many chassis, with the support for remote management. The Agile and intelligent automation drives faster hardware rollouts and reduces repetitive tasks for accelerated life cycle management.

It runs on the PowerEdge M9002m management module (MM) firmware. OME-Modular facilitates configuration and management of a stand-alone PowerEdge MX7000 chassis or group of MX7000 chassis from one User Interface (UI). You can use OME-Modular to deploy servers and update firmware. You can also manage the overall health of the chassis and its components such as compute sleds, networks, input, or output modules (IOMs). OME-Modular also facilitates hardware enabling:

• Connectivity of management network
• Discovery, inventory
• Monitoring and power control operations and thermal functions

You can use OME-Modular to manage key workloads on the MX7000 platforms.

• Large and unstructured data and analytics
• Hyperconverged and traditional workloads
• Database workloads
• Software defined storage
• HPC and performance workloads

The lead chassis in the Multi Chassis Management (MCM) enables you to perform the following tasks across up to 20 chassis:

• Manage servers across multiple MX chassis.
• Deploy or update servers from the lead chassis without launching the member chassis web interface.
• Manage fabric switch engines in SmartFabric mode using the OME-Modular web interface.
• Manage alert logs and actions.
• Manage virtual MAC or WWN identity pools.
• Deploy compute sleds using server profiles and templates.

OME-Modular offers simple and static roles such as the chassis administrator, compute manager, fabric manager, storage manager, and viewer roles while, OpenManage Enterprise offers static and dynamic groups with role-based access control (RBAC).
