Overview

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) is a software agent that provides systems management capabilities via a Web browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) and from a command line interface (CLI) through the operating system. OMSA is designed so that system administrators can manage server systems both locally and remotely on a network. It also interfaces with OpenManage Essentials (OME) console, which allows for monitoring of the systems in the data center from a single interface.

OSMA runs as a user-space process in top of the O/S, so it is available on one of the O/S network interfaces, as https://192.168.1.13:1311. Root credentials can be used to login.

Installation

The best way to install OMSA is to install the srvadmin-all metapackage, which installs all OMSA components. In order for this command to work, yum repositories on the system should have been pre-configured as described here: dsu Installation - Repositories.

yum install srvadmin-all
