• Dell OpenManage Connection for Computer Associates Network and Systems Management- This connection allows you to monitor PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage arrays from within the Computer Associates Network and Systems Management (CA NSM) console. • Dell OpenManage Connection for HP Operations Manager- This connection enables several functions through HP Operations Manager, including auto- grouping, SNMP trap reception, global health monitoring, and a context- sensitive launch of OpenManage Server Administrator. • Dell OpenManage Connection for IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIBus- This connection provides event monitoring capabilities to monitor Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell EqualLogic systems. It allows event monitoring, automatic event correlation, and launching device consoles from the Netcool/OMNIbus console. Dell server management operations Dell OpenManage systems management is centered on automating the server management lifecycle- deploy, update, monitor, and maintain. To manage an infrastructure properly and efficiently, you must perform all of these functions easily and quickly. iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller technology provides you with these intelligent capabilities embedded within the server infrastructure. This allows you to invest more time and energy on business improvements and less on maintenance. Figure 11 illustrates the various operations that can be performed during the server's lifecycle.
