Compatibility Guide

14 Introduction
NOTE: For Dell OpenManage information specific to VMware
®
, see the latest
Installation Guide, Release Notes, and the VMware Software Compatibility Matrix for
Dell systems at www.dell.com/vmware, under the Resource Archive section.
For precise operating system, application, firmware, and other requirements,
see the table that lists the systems management software CD version for the
system that you are configuring. The tables in the following sections of this
guide are a good place to begin:
• Server Administrator Supported Applications and Systems
• Server Agent Supported Applications and Systems
• Hardware Instrumentation Package Supported Applications and Systems
Operating system version numbers, support packs, service packs, and kernel
versions can vary with each systems management software version and cannot
be accurately generalized. For example, a particular systems management
software version may support only a version of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
operating system with a specific kernel. Some systems management
applications are available only on specific operating systems.
NOTE: To address any Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) security
vulnerabilities associated with an operating system, see the appropriate website
for your system's operating system (for example, www.microsoft.com,
www.redhat.com, or www.novell.com).
Supported Browsers
Server Administrator supports Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) versions 6.0 SP2
and 7.0, and Mozilla Firefox version 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 open-source Web
browsers.
NOTE: Windows 2000 supports only Internet Explorer version 6.0 SP1.
NOTE: Server Administrator versions 4.3 and later do not support Netscape
Navigator.
