Server Based Management Tools

There are two server-based management tools, iDRAC and OMSA, that can be launched from the vSphere Client > Dell Server Management tab. Under the Management Consoles link in the left pane you can access:

  • Launch Remote Access.

    Use this option to launch the iDRAC user interface

  • Launch OMSA

    Use this option to launch the OpenManage Server Administrator user interface URL that was entered into the management center either during the initial Configuration Wizard or using Settings > General. You must install the URL for the server administrator Web server on a Windows-based management station.

  • If you are on a blade system, launch the CMC to launch the Chassis Management Controller user interface. If you are not on a blade system, this does not display.
