The only reason I know to install OMSA is so you can manage the PERC without stopping a server and going into BIOS. I suppose also, the Dell Server Manager has knowledge of what the current Firmware & Driver updates are available from Dell, so it will easily highlight those sorts of updates being available to you. Assuming that you're not a 100% dell shop, or someday won't be a 100% dell shop, it means you're not going to eliminate the need for a non-dell-centric monitoring solution. So I would say, assume you are going to use some other solution, and then install OMSA and Server Manager as a secondary goal, to augment the non-dell solution with something that has dell-specific knowledge. Complimentary to your primary monitoring solution. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
