1 Introduction
This guide provides a basic overview of the OpenManage portfolio, and the upgrade options and skus.

These licenses apply to multiple generations of PowerEdge Servers. For a link that explains PowerEdge
Server generations, see the Resources section at the end of this paper.

Some licenses are applied directly to the iDRAC. Other licenses are “controlled” by the iDRAC but are not
considered as an “iDRAC license.”

Licenses that are covered are:

• Server Element Managers

o iDRAC
o Secured Component Verification
o Secure Enterprise Key Manager
o OpenManage Enterprise Modular
• Dell Consoles
o OpenManage Enterprise
o CloudIQ for PowerEdge
• Third Party Integrations
o OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center
o OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center
o OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter
o OpenManage Integration for ServiceNow

2 Server Element managers

This section covers:

• iDRAC
• Secured Component Verification (SCV)
• Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM)
• OpenManage Enterprise Modular (OMEM)

The iDRAC license levels are not tied or related to the other licenses.

2.1 iDRAC
The integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) delivers advanced, agent-free, local, and remote
server administration. The iDRAC provides a secure means to automate a multitude of management tasks.
Given that iDRAC is embedded in every PowerEdge server, there is no additional software to install. Once
iDRAC has been enabled, you have a complete set of server management features.

iDRAC9 licenses are linked to a specific generation of PowerEdge server. They cannot be installed or
transferred to a different generation server from the server for which they were purchased. Attempting to
import a license that is purchased for a different generation of server fails.

2.2 Secured Component Verification

Dell Technologies Secured Component Verification ensures that PowerEdge servers are delivered and ready
for deployment exactly as they were built by Dell manufacturing. This verification provides an extension to
Dell’s Secure Supply Chain assurance process.

Authenticate new PowerEdge servers quickly and securely:

• Deploy PowerEdge servers confidently with a component set that is delivered with an encrypted “as-
built” certificate you can validate
• Leverage existing server management workflows to incorporate server component verification into
your deployment processes
• Align your server security standards with emerging industry guidelines to meet the most demanding
requirements for secure IT infrastructure

2.3 Secure Enterprise Key Manager

Secure Enterprise Key Manager helps to quickly secure data in your infrastructure. A standards-based Key
Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) approach ensures that organizations meet data security needs.
This helps reduce costs, learning curve, and consolidates keys for their internal monitoring. A scalable key
manager, along with self-encrypting drives, helps deploy and monitor new encryption keys at scale, from one
server to thousands of servers and drives, across the data center, including remote locations and even in the
cloud. Know that your security policy with enterprise key management helps you meet security and privacy
policies.

2.4 OpenManage Enterprise – Modular

The OpenManage Enterprise Modular Edition (OME-Modular) application runs on the PowerEdge M9002m
management module in the MX7000 chassis. OME-Modular facilitates configuration and management of a
stand-alone PowerEdge MX chassis or group of MX chassis using a single Graphical User Interface (UI). You
can use OME-Modular to deploy servers and update firmware. You can also manage the overall health of the
chassis and the chassis components such as compute sleds, network devices, input/output modules (IOMs),
and storage devices.

Beginning with OME-M 1.30.00 there is an Advanced license option to enable:

• Chassis telemetry for power, thermal, and fans

• OpenID Connect Provider for delegated authentication

The telemetry that the Advanced license enables is complementary to the iDRAC Datacenter license. To get
a complete set of telemetry information, you need the OME-M Advanced license for the chassis power/cooling
and iDRAC Datacenter licenses for the compute sled telemetry.

Note: The Advanced license does not “propagate” to iDRAC or to other chassis in a Multi-Chassis
Management Group. All chassis and compute sled iDRACs need a license to enable a complete set of
telemetry information and future features like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Automatic Certificate
Enrollment.
