Introduction

Overview

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) provides a comprehensive, one-to-one systems management solution in two ways: from an integrated, web browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) and from a command line interface (CLI) through the operating system. Server Administrator is designed for system administrators to manage systems locally and remotely on a network. It allows system administrators to focus on managing their entire network by providing comprehensive one-to-one systems management.

In the context of Server Administrator, a system refers to a stand-alone system, a system with attached network storage units in a separate chassis, or a modular system consisting of one or more server modules in a modular enclosure.

Server Administrator provides information about:

• Systems that are operating properly and systems that have problems

• Systems that require remote recovery operations

Server Administrator provides easy-to-use management and administration of local and remote systems through a comprehensive set of integrated management services. Server Administrator is the sole installation on the system being managed and is accessible both locally and remotely from the Server Administrator home page. Remotely monitored systems may be accessed through dial-in, LAN, or wireless connections. Server Administrator ensures the security of its management connections through role-based access control (RBAC), authentication, and secure socket layer (SSL) encryption.

Introduction 9

Installation

You can install Server Administrator using the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. The DVD provides a setup program to install,

upgrade, and uninstall Server Administrator, managed system and management station software components. Additionally, you can install Server Administrator on multiple systems through an unattended installation across a network.

The Dell OpenManage installer provides installation scripts and RPM packages to install and uninstall Dell OpenManage Server Administrator and other managed system software components on your managed system. For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Installation

Guide and the Dell OpenManage Management Station Software Installation Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

NOTE: When you install the open source packages from the Dell Systems

Management Tools and Documentation DVD, the corresponding license files are

automatically copied to the system. When you remove these packages, the corresponding files are removed.

If you have a modular system, you must install Server Administrator on each server module installed in the chassis.

Updating Individual System Components

To update individual system components, use component-specific Dell Update Packages. Use the Dell Server Updates DVD to view the complete version report and to update an entire system. The Server Update Utility is a DVD-ROM–based application for identifying and applying updates to your system. The Server Update Utility can be downloaded from support.dell.com.

See the Server Update Utility User's Guide for more information about obtaining and using the Server Update Utility (SUU) to update your Dell Systems or to view the updates available for any systems listed in the Repository.

Storage Management Service

The Storage Management Service provides storage management information in an integrated graphical view.

For detailed information on the Storage Management Service, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

10 Introduction

Instrumentation Service

The Instrumentation Service provides rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by industry-standard systems management agents and allows remote administration of monitored systems, including shutdown, startup, and security.

Remote Access Controller

The Remote Access Controller provides a complete remote system management solution for systems equipped with the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) or Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)/Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) solution. The Remote Access Controller provides remote access to an inoperable system, allowing you to get the system up and running as quickly as possible. The Remote Access Controller also provides an alert notification when a system is down and allows you to remotely restart the system. Additionally, the Remote Access Controller logs the probable cause of system crashes and saves the most recent crash screen.

Logs

Server Administrator displays logs of commands issued to or by the system, monitored hardware events, and system alerts. You can view logs on the home page, print or save them as reports, and send them by e-mail to a designated service contact.

Systems Management Standards Availability

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator supports the following major systems management protocols:

• HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)

• Common Information Model (CIM)

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

If your system supports SNMP, you must install and enable the service on your operating system. If SNMP services are available on your operating system, the Server Administrator installation program installs the supporting agents for SNMP.

HTTPS is supported on all operating systems. Support for CIM and SNMP is operating system dependent and, in some cases, operating system-version dependent.

For information on SNMP security concerns, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator readme file (packaged with the Server Administrator application) or at support.dell.com/manuals. You must apply updates from your operating system's master SNMP agents to ensure that Dell's SNMP subagents are secure.

Availability on Supported Operating Systems

On supported Microsoft Windows operating systems, Server Administrator supports two systems management standards: CIM/WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) and SNMP, while on supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems, Server Administrator supports the SNMP systems management standard.

Introduction 13

Server Administrator adds considerable security to these systems management standards. All attributes set operations (for example, changing the value of an asset tag) must be performed with Dell OpenManage IT Assistant while logged in with the required authority.

Table 1-1 shows the systems management standards that are available for each supported operating system.

18 Introduction

Setup and Administration

Security Management

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator provides security through RoleBased Access Control (RBAC), authentication, and encryption for both the web-based and command line interfaces.

Role-Based Access Control

RBAC manages security by determining the operations that can be executed by persons in particular roles. Each user is assigned one or more roles, and each role is assigned one or more user privileges that are permitted to users in that role. With RBAC, security administration corresponds closely to an organization's structure.

User Privileges

Server Administrator grants different access rights based on the user's assigned group privileges. The four user levels are: User, Power User, Administrator, and Elevated Administrator.

20 Setup and Administration

Authentication

The Server Administrator authentication scheme ensures that the correct access types are assigned to the correct user privileges. Additionally, when the command line interface (CLI) is invoked, the Server Administrator authentication scheme validates the context within which the current process is running. This authentication scheme ensures that all Server Administrator functions, whether accessed through the Server Administrator home page or CLI, are properly authenticated.

Microsoft Windows Authentication

For supported Microsoft Windows operating systems, Server Administrator authentication uses Integrated Windows Authentication (formerly called NTLM) to authenticate. This authentication system allows Server Administrator security to be incorporated in an overall security scheme foryournetwork.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Authentication

For supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems, Server Administrator uses various authentication methods based on the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) library. Users can log in to Server Administrator either locally or remotely using different account management protocols, such as LDAP, NIS, Kerberos, and Winbind.

VMware ESX Server 4.X Authentication

VMware ESX Server uses the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) structure for authentication when users access the ESX Server host. The PAM configuration for VMware services is located at /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd, which stores paths to authentication modules.

The default installation of ESX Server uses /etc/passwd authentication, just as Linux does, but you can configure ESX Server to use another distributed authentication mechanism.

NOTE: On systems running VMware ESX Server 4.x operating system, to login to

Server Administrator, all users require Administrator privileges. For information on assigning roles, see the VMware documentation.

Setup and Administration 21

VMware ESXi Server 5.X Authentication

ESXi Server authenticates users accessing ESXi hosts using the vSphere/VI Client or Software Development Kit (SDK). The default installation of ESXi uses a local password database for authentication. ESXi authentication transactions with Server Administrator are also direct interactions with the vmware-hostd process. To make sure that authentication works efficiently for your site, perform basic tasks such as setting up users, groups, permissions, and roles, configuring user attributes, adding your own certificates, and determining whether you want to use SSL.

NOTE: On systems running VMware ESXi Server 5.0 operating system, to login to

Server Administrator, all users require Administrator privileges. For information on assigning roles, see the VMware documentation.

Encryption

Server Administrator is accessed over a secure HTTPS connection using secure socket layer (SSL) technology to ensure and protect the identity of the system being managed. Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) is used by supported Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems to protect the user credentials and other sensitive data that is transmitted over the socket connection when a user accesses the Server Administrator home page.

Assigning User Privileges

To ensure critical system component security, assign user privileges to all Dell OpenManage software users before installing Dell OpenManage software. New users can log in to Dell OpenManage software using their operating system user privileges.

CAUTION: To protect access to your critical system components,

assign a password to every user account that can access Dell OpenManage software. Users without an assigned password cannot log in to Dell OpenManage software on a system running Windows Server 2003 due to the operating system design.

CAUTION: Disable guest accounts for supported Windows operating systems to

protect access to your critical system components. Consider renaming the guest accounts so that remote scripts cannot enable the accounts using the default guest account names.

22 Setup and Administration

NOTE: For instructions on assigning user privileges for each supported operating

system, see your operating system documentation.

NOTE: Add new users to the operating system if you want to add users to

OpenManage software. You do not have to create new users from within the OpenManage software.

Adding Users to a Domain on Windows Operating Systems

Configuring the SNMP Agent

Server Administrator supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)—a systems management standard—on all supported operating systems. The SNMP support may or may not be installed depending on your operating system and how the operating system was installed. In most cases, SNMP is installed as part of your operating system installation. An installed supported systems management protocol standard, such as SNMP, is required before installing Server Administrator.

You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name, enable Set operations, and send traps to a management station. To configure your SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications such as the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant, perform the procedures described in the following sections.

Setup and Administration 27

NOTE: The default SNMP agent configuration usually includes a SNMP community

name such as public. For security reasons, rename the default SNMP community names. For information about renaming the SNMP community names, see the appropriate section below.

NOTE: SNMP Set operations are disabled by default in Server Administrator

version 5.2 or later. Server Administrator provides support to enable or disable SNMP Set operations in Server Administrator. You can use the Server Administrator SNMP Configuration page under Preferences or the Server Administrator command line interface (CLI) to enable or disable SNMP Set operations in Server Administrator. For more information about the Server Administrator CLI, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide.

NOTE: For IT Assistant to retrieve management information from a system running

Server Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant must match a community name on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to modify information or perform actions on a system running Server Administrator, the community name used by IT Assistant must match a community name that allows Set operations on the system running Server Administrator. For IT Assistant to receive traps (asynchronous event notifications) from a system running Server Administrator, the system running Server Administrator must be configured to send traps to the system running IT Assistant.

The following procedures provide step-by-step instructions for configuring the SNMP agent for each supported operating system:

• “Configuring the SNMP Agent for Systems Running Supported Windows Operating Systems" on page 29.

• “Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux" on page 32.

• “Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported SUSE Linux Enterprise Server" on page 36.

• "Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported VMware ESX 4.X Operating Systems to Proxy VMware MIBs" on page 39.

• “Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running Supported VMware ESXi 4.X and ESXi 5.X Operating Systems" on page 41.

28 Setup and Administration

Configuring the SNMP Agent for Systems Running Supported Windows Operating Systems

Server Administrator uses the SNMP services provided by the Windows SNMP agent. You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name, enable Set operations, and send traps to a management station. To configure your SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications such as IT Assistant, perform the procedures described in the following sections.

NOTE: See your operating system documentation for additional details on SNMP

configuration.

Enabling SNMP Access By Remote Hosts

Windows Server 2003, by default, does not accept SNMP packets from remote hosts. For systems running Windows Server 2003, you must configure the SNMP service to accept SNMP packets from remote hosts if you plan to manage the system by using SNMP management applications from remote hosts.

To enable a system running the Windows Server 2003 operating system to receive SNMP packets from a remote host, perform the following steps:
