Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator Version 6.0.3
User’s Guide
The 6.0.3 release of Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator supports the
VMware® ESXi 3.5 virtualization operating
system. This release provides OpenManage Server Administrator support for VMware®
ESXi 3.5 - based managed systems.
With the introduction of VMware® ESXi 3.5 you
can deploy Server Administrator on a single system, and still perform remote
1-to-1 systems management.
You can now seamlessly manage and monitor several systems at a time.
The remote management capability offers a new foundation for virtual
infrastucture.
For information about the VMware® ESXi 3.5
virtualization software, see the VMware support site at www.vmware.com/support/.
Release Highlights
Ease of use: This virtualization operating
system (ESXi 3.5 Update 4 HDD and ESXi 3.5 Update 4 Flash) comes
pre-installed (factory installed) on select Dell Systems. The Server
Administrator Instrumentation, Remote Access and Storage Management Services
are included with the virtualization operating system in a disabled state.
You can easily launch Server Administrator on any supported Windows system,

supported systems, see the Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator
