    R710 Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator is Dell’s version of the HP System Management Homepage, as it allows you to log into a web interface to view system configuration, health, and performance statistics.  Its availible for free and runs in Windows and Linux.

    Dell makes the install easy on Linux due via a public rpm repo. The steps below outline the simple install process.

    Install OpenManage Server Administrator

     wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash
    yum -y install srvadmin-all

    Start  Systems Management Data Engine

    # /etc/init.d/dataeng start

    Step 4: Start webinterface – 

    /etc/init.d/dsm_om_connsvc start

    Your system homepage is now availible via https://hostname:1311, where hostname is the hostname of your server.

    Install Firmware/Bios Management Tools

    # yum install dell_ft_install
# yum install $(bootstrap_firmware)

    Now run either inventory_firmware or inventory_firmware_gui to view your firmware versions, and perform firmware upgrades.
