Mike_Hester OpenManage Server Administrator on Windows Server 2003 R2 2 Nov 10 2009, 12:44 PM EST by MrJohnBravo
Thread started: Nov 13 2008, 9:31 AM EST  Watch
Hi: When I install the Dell OM Server Administrator on a Windows 2003 R2 system, one of the "Informational Messages" that appears before the install indicates that the built-in Hardware Management tools available with Server 2003 R2 is not installed. However, if I go to install the tools (the IPMI drivers), it says I have to remove any other IPMI driver first. If I have used the Dell system setup disk to install Server 2003 R2, are any Dell IPMI drivers installed, or can I safely ignore this warning? Thanks

@ceri Current best practice for ESX 2 Sep 10 2009, 11:38 AM EDT by @ceri

I'm planning to deploy a bunch of new M610s running ESX - what should I be using to monitor these? OMC or ITA? Slightly confused as the OMC readme talks about migrating from ITA. I understand that I'll want to install OMSA myself.

Presumably either solution will monitor the chassis and CMC as well?

Joe_Liston Polling frequency of OMSA 1 Jun 2 2009, 11:03 AM EDT by KongY@Dell

Is there a way to modify the polling frequency of OMSA's Instrumentation service? Version in use is 6.01 on Windows Server 2008/2003 as well as SLES 10.
