Introduction

Open Manage Enterprise is a systems management and monitoring web application delivered as a virtual appliance. It provides a comprehensive view of the Dell EMC servers, chassis, storage, and network switches on the enterprise network. With Open Manage Enterprise, a web-based one‑to‑many systems management application, users can:

  • Discover devices in a data center environment.
  • View hardware inventory and monitor health of devices.
  • View and manage alerts received by the appliance and configure alert policies.
  • Monitor firmware / driver versions and Manage firmware / driver updates on devices with firmware baselines.
  • Manage remote tasks (such as power control) on devices.
  • Manage configuration settings across devices using deployment templates.
  • Manage virtual identity settings across devices using intelligent identity pools.
  • Detect and remediate configuration deviations across devices using configuration baselines.
  • Retrieve and monitor warranty information for devices.
  • Group devices into static or dynamic groups.
  • Create and manage Open Manage Enterprise users.

NOTE:

  • Open Manage Enterprise’s system management and monitoring is best suited for enterprise LANs and is not recommended for usage over WANs.

OEM devices

Dell EMC OEM devices (rebranded or debranded PowerEdge servers), when discovered, are classified under SYSTEM GROUPS > All Devices > Servers > OEM Servers on the All Devices page. If both the server and RAC of the OEM device are discovered, they are correlated and displayed as one device under the OEM Devices group. Most of the functionality available to the PowerEdge servers—such as tasks, reports, and filters—are also available to the PowerEdge OEM servers. However, system update may not be possible if it is not supported by the OEM device module.
