Server Management Operations - Dell PowerEdge R940 Technical Manual

Server management operations

OpenManage systems management is centered on automating the server management lifecycle — deploy, update, monitor and maintain.
To manage an infrastructure properly and efficiently, you must perform all of these functions easily and quickly. iDRAC9 with Lifecycle
Controller technology provides you with these intelligent capabilities embedded within the server infrastructure. This allows you to invest
more time and energy on business improvements and less on maintenance. Figure 16 illustrates the various operations that can be
performed during the server's lifecycle.
