Upgrading from Dell OpenManage Array Manager

Dell has discontinued the release of Dell OpenManage Array Manager. Server Administrator is a

replacement for Array Manager. Customers wishing to take advantage of SAS technology must

upgrade their Array Manager installation to Server Administrator. Server Administrator also

provides Linux support which was not offered with Array Manager.

Note: OMSA: Server Administrator does not support NetWare. Existing NetWare customers may

continue to use their Array Manager licenses for existing systems, but additional licenses will not

be granted for new systems.

Note: Server Administrator does not provide support for Fibre channel arrays.

The following sections describe the considerations for upgrading to Server Administrator.

Virtual Disk Preservation

You can preserve assigned virtual disk names when migrating from Array Manager to Server

Administrator. To do so, you must not uninstall Array Manager prior to installing Server

Administrator. If Array Manager is uninstalled prior to installing Server Administrator, the virtual

disks are renamed. Irrespective of whether Array Manager is uninstalled, Server Administrator

identifies and manages the virtual disks created with Array Manager.
