Dell OpenManage Systems Management
Software Components
Deployment Software
From Dell OpenManage version 6.0.1 onwards, you can install an operating
system using either the Dell Unified Server Configurator or the Systems Build
and Update Utility.
The Dell Unified Server Configurator (USC) is a pre-installed configuration
utility that enables systems and storage management tasks from an embedded
environment throughout the system’s lifecycle.
The USC resides on an embedded flash memory card, can be started during
the boot sequence, and functions independently of the operating system.
The Dell Systems Build and Update Utility provides streamlined operating system
installation, reducing the time required for the installation of Windows, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems by guiding
you through an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process.
In addition, Systems Build and Update Utility provides the necessary tools for
discovery and configuration of Dell-provided RAID controllers and network
adapters.
