NOTE: You must have Administrator or Power User privileges to view many of the system tree objects, system
components, action tabs, and data area features that are configurable. Additionally, only users logged in with
Administrator privileges can access critical system features such as the shutdown functionality included under
the Shutdown tab.
Managing System/Server Module Tree Objects
The Server Administrator system/server module tree displays all visible system objects based on the software and
hardware groups that Server Administrator discovers on the managed system and on the user's access privileges. The
system components are categorized by component type. When you expand the main object — Modular Enclosure —
System/Server Module — the major categories of system components that may appear are, Main System Chassis/Main
System, Software, and Storage.
If Storage Management Service is installed, depending on the controller and storage attached to the system, the
Storage tree object expands to display various objects.
For detailed information on the Storage Management Service component, see the
Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator Storage Management User's Guide
at dell.com/support/manuals.
Server Administrator Home Page System Tree Objects
This section provides information about the objects in the System tree on the Server Administrator's home page. Due to
the limitations of the VMware ESX and ESXi version 4.X and 5.X operating systems, some features available in earlier
versions of OpenManage Server Administrator are not available in this release. These include:
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Capable and iSCSI over Ethernet (iSoE) capable information
• FCoE-capable and iSoE-capable information.
• Alert Management — Alert Actions
• Network Interface — Administrative Status, DMA, Internet Protocol (IP) Address,
• Network Interface — Operational Status
• Preferences — SNMP Configuration
• Remote Shutdown — Power Cycle System with Shutdown operating system first
• About Details — Server Administrator component details not listed under Details tab
• Rolemap
NOTE: Server Administrator always displays the date in <mm/dd/yyyy> format.

Modular Enclosure
NOTE: For the purposes of Server Administrator, modular enclosure refers to a system that may contain one or
more modular systems that appear as a separate Server Module in the system tree. Like a stand-alone Server
Module, a modular enclosure contains all of the essential components of a system. The only difference is that
there are slots for at least two Server Modules within a larger container, and each of them is as complete a
system as a Server Module.
