Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
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.
The best way to install OMSA is to install the srvadmin-all metapackage, which installs all OMSA components:
yum install srvadmin-all
srvadmin-services.sh start|stop
iDRAC
IMPI over LAN
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a set of computer interface specifications for an autonomous computer subsystem that provides management and monitoring capabilities independently of the host system's CPU, firmware and operating system. IPMI provides a way to manage a computer that may be powered off or otherwise unresponsive by using a network connection to the hardware rather than to an operating system or login shell.
Dell DRAC and iDRAC
Dell DRAC is an implementation of IPMI.
