The Dell OpenManage Port Information document helps system administrators and technicians to
identify the ports used by the Dell OpenManage systems management software, standard operating
system services, and other agent applications.
Server Build and Update Utility Deprecated
Dell recommends using the Embedded Management, Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 8
(iDRAC8) with Lifecycle Controller instead of Dell Systems Build and Update Utility (SBUU). SBUU is
replaced with Lifecycle Controller on Dell’s 13th generation of PowerEdge servers.
iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller is an Embedded Systems Management application for operating system
deployment and lifecycle management of PowerEdge servers. You can access Dell Lifecycle Controller
by pressing <F10> during system boot up or through remote interface tools such as, iDRAC Web GUI,
RACADM command-line interface, or Web Service Management (WS-Man) interface.
The local GUI of iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller allows you to do the following in a pre-OS
environment:
•Hardware configuration
•Operating system and hypervisor deployments
•Hardware updates
•Hardware diagnostics
Lifecycle Controller is embedded on all Dell’s 11th generation and later PowerEdge servers. No tools or
downloads are required to use the capabilities of Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see the
following documents available at dell.com/support/openmanagemanuals:
•Dell Lifecycle Controller 2 Version <Version Number> User's Guide
•Dell Lifecycle Controller 2 Web Services Interface Guide
•Lifecycle Controller Integration Best Practices
IT Assistant Deprecated
Starting Systems Management 7.2, the availability of IT Assistant on the SMTD DVD is removed. Contact
service provider to download the web version of IT Assistant associated to Systems Management 7.2
release. IT Assistant will not be available in releases following 7.2.
We recommend to use Dell OpenManage Essentials as replacement for ITA. Dell OpenManage Essentials
provides improved capabilities such as:
•Discovering and inventoring the systems.
4
•Monitoring systems’ health.
•Viewing and managing system alerts.
•Performing system updates.
•Viewing hardware inventory and compliance reports.
For more information regarding Dell OpenManage Essentials, contact your service provider.

OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter
NOTE: When deploying the Server Administrator agent using the Fix non-compliant vSphere hosts
link available from the Compliance window in the Dell Management Center, the OpenManage
Integration for VMware vCenter starts the http Client service and enables port 8080 on and releases
after ESXi 5.0 to download OMSA VIB and install it. Once the OMSA installation is completed, the
service automatically stops and the port is closed.
