Dell OpenManage Mobile
OpenManage Mobile is a software application that enables you to remotely and securely perform a
subset of datacenter monitoring and server remediation tasks from your Android and iOS handheld
devices. OpenManage Mobile connects to your datacenter through the Dell OpenManage Essentials
management console. This allows you to monitor all systems managed by OpenManage Essentials such
as Dell servers, storage, networking, and Firewall appliances and any other supported third party
appliance from your android and iOS mobile devices.
OpenManage Mobile can also connect to a server directly through the iDRAC interface. Once connected,
a user can perform several basic management functions directly on the server.
Key Features of OpenManage Mobile:
• Connect to multiple OpenManage Essesntials installed servers from a single mobile device.
• Connect to multiple 12th and 13th generation servers individually through the iDRAC interface.
• Receive critical alert notification on your mobile device as they arrive into your OpenManage
Essentials management console.
• Acknowledge, forward, and delete alerts from your mobile device.
• Browse through device details, firmware inventory, and event logs of individual systems.
• Perform several server management functions such as power on, power cycle, reboot, and shutdown
from the mobile application.
Dell Remote Access Configuration Tool
Dell Remote Access Configuration Tool is a one-to-many application that discovers and configures
iDRACs from a single console. It helps to:
• Discover or import iDRAC IP addresses on the network.
• Update firmware for the selected iDRACs.
• Configure standard or extended schema-based Active Directory settings for selected iDRACs.
• Create iDRAC objects on the Active Directory server for extended schema-based Active Directory.
For complete information, see Dell Remote Access Configuration Tool User’s Guide available at dell.com/
esmmanuals.
Dell OpenManage Power Center
Dell OpenManage Power Center is a one-to-many application that can read power usage information
from Dell servers, Power Distribution Units (PDU), and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). It can
aggregate this information into rack, row, and room-level views. Additionally, for servers with the iDRAC
Enterprise version, you can cap or throttle the amount of power consumed. This is done in response to a
need to reduce consumption due to external events such as brownout and failure of data center cooling
devices. Capping can also be used to safely increase the number of servers in a rack to match the power
that has been provisioned to that rack.
You can do the following:
• Track power and thermal at rack, row, and room level.
• Rack-level power capping.
