OVERVIEW OF OPENMANAGE MOBILE (OMM)

Wireless and Mobility are now pervasive inside data centers and we can leverage it to simplify data center operations. Dell EMC OpenManage Mobile (OMM) is an app that enables IT Administrators to securely provision, monitor, and troubleshoot Dell EMC PowerEdge servers or MX7000 chassis directly from a mobile device.

OMM can access and manage PowerEdge servers or MX7000 modular chassis either remotely (i.e. over management network) or from inside the data center (i.e. when an IT Administrator is physically present in front of server or a chassis). Following are the ways you can access a server or an MX7000 chassis:
• Remote into a server (iDRAC7, iDRAC8 or iDRAC9)
• Remote into an MX7000 chassis and sleds
• Remote into a console (OpenManage Enterprise or OpenManage Essentials)
• At-the-server access to a PowerEdge server with iDRAC8 or iDRAC9
• At-the-chassis access to an MX7000 chassis and sleds

When connected through a console (OpenManage Enterprise or OpenManage Essentials), OMM can access Dell EMC servers, chassis, storage, networking, and any other supported third-party appliances being managed through this console.
