OpenManage Connections

Dell OpenManage Connections allow Dell servers and clients to be managed from some of the other enterprise systems management applications on the market today - including HP OpenView NNM for Windows, CA Unicenter TNG, and Tivoli Enterprise Console. Depending on the platform, Dell OpenManage Connections offer such services as:

  • Dell system discovery/status management - determines if the system is a Dell system, displays it as such in the framework, and reflects its status

  • Application launch - launches Dell OpenManage and Integrated Hardware Vendor (IHV) applications in-context to manage Dell systems

  • Event Management - receives SNMP traps and DMI notifications and translates them into easily understandable text strings

  • Asset/Inventory Management - allows remote gathering of detailed asset and inventory information from all Dell systems on a network

The components of OpenManage Connections are installed on the management station (OMSA or the Server Agent must be installed on the managed node as well). Not all features are available for every third-party management platform. For example, integration of OpenManage with Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) consists primarily of assisting TEC in interpreting Windows NT or Windows 2000 event log entries generated by Dell hardware.
