Starting OpenManage Server Administrator version 9.1

Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) provides a comprehensive, one-to-one systems management solution in two ways: from an integrated, web browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) and from a command line interface (CLI) through the operating system.

Server Administrator enables system administrators to manage systems locally and remotely on a network. It enables system administrators to focus on managing their entire network by providing comprehensive one-to-one systems management.

  1. Boot the system by using the Linux-Based Diagnostic Tools (Dell 12G-14G servers) option.
    The Support Live Image desktop is displayed.
  2. Double-click the Launch Server Administrator icon. If you have already added OpenManage Server Administrator to the web browser's security exception, then go to step 6.
    A new web browser window is displayed with the following message: This Connection is Untrusted.
  3. Click I Understand the Risks.
    A disclaimer is displayed at the bottom of the page.
  4. Click Add Exception.
    The Add Security Exception window is displayed.
  5. Click Get Certificate and then click Confirm Security Exception.
    The OpenManage Server Administrator login page is displayed.
  6. In the Username field, type root.
  7. In the Password field, type dell.
  8. Click Submit.
    The OMSA dashboard is displayed.
    NOTE: When you close OMSA and reopen it again, the Unable to connect message may be displayed. To continue, click Try Again.
    NOTE: For more information on using OMSA, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide in the User_Guides_and_Release-Notes folder available on the Support Live Image desktop.
