Dell EMC OpenManage systems management tools, utilities and
protocols
Dell EMC OpenManage systems management tools and utilities consist of the following:
Dell EMC Repository Manager:
Dell EMC Repository Manager (DRM) is an application that helps you to:
• Identify the updates that are relevant to the systems in your data center.
• Identify and notify when updates are available.
• Package the updates into dierent deployment format.
To automate the creation of baseline repositories, DRM provides advanced integration capabilities with iDRAC/LC, OpenManage
Essentials, Chassis Management Controller, OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter and OpenManage Integration for
Microsoft System Center (OMIMSSC). Also, DRM packages updates into custom catalogs that can be used for deployment.
Dell EMC Repository Manager can create the following deployment tools:
• Custom catalogs
• Lightweight deployment pack
• Bootable Linux ISO
• Custom Server Update Utility (SUU)
For more information, see Dell EMC Repository Manager User’s Guide available at Dell.com/support/manuals.
Dell Update Packages
Dell Update Packages (DUP) is a self-contained executable supported by Microsoft Windows or Linux that updates a component on
a server and applications like OMSA, iSM, and DSET.
DUPs can be executed in GUI or in CLI mode.
For more information, see Dell EMC Update Packages User’s Guide available at www.delltechcenter.com/DSU.
Dell Remote Access Controller Administration (RACADM) CLI
The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface to perform inventory, conguration, update, and health status
check of PowerEdge servers. RACADM operates in multiple modes:•
• Local — supports running RACADM commands from the managed server’s operating system.
• SSH or Telnet — known as Firmware RACADM; is accessible by logging in to iDRAC using SSH or Telnet
• Remote — supports running RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop.
RACADM is supported by the iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller and by the Chassis Management Controller of the M1000e, VRTX and
FX2 modular systems. Local and Remote RACADM is supported on Windows Server, Windows clients, and on Red Hat, SuSe and
Ubuntu Linux.
For more information, see the RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC and CMC available at Dell.com/support/
manuals.
iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller Embedded Management APIs
iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller provides a range of standards-based applications programming interfaces (APIs) that enable scalable
and automated management of PowerEdge servers. Standard systems management APIs have been developed by organizations
such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). These APIs are
