OpenManage Mobile
OpenManage Mobile(OMM) is a software application that enables easy, convenient, and secure monitoring and management of
PowerEdge servers remotely, or at-the-server. With OpenManage Mobile, IT Administrators can securely perform several data center
monitoring and remediation tasks using an Android or iOS mobile device. The OpenManage Mobile app is available as a free software
download from the Apple Store and the Google Play Store.
OMM can also monitor and manage PowerEdge servers through a OpenManage Essentials console or by directly accessing the
server’s iDRAC.
The OpenManage Essentials console can be accessed through OpenManage Mobile over a secure IP network. This allows you to
monitor all devices managed by OpenManage Essentials such as Dell EMC servers, storage, networking,
firewall,
and supported third
party devices.
If you are remote, you can access iDRAC over a secure IP network. If you are at-the-server, an iDRAC can be accessed directly by
tapping an NFC-enabled android mobile device on a PowerEdge “Quick Sync” bezel to perform several basic bare-metal
configuration
tasks such as assigning an IP address, and changing server credentials or the boot order.
