18 Introduction
I have a multi-tiered network with management systems in various parts
of the world. How would that affect the way I install Dell Management
Console?
Having management stations in different parts of the world affects the way
you install Dell Management Console. For more information, see the
Symantec documentation on tiered infrastructure. Symantec documents are
available in the Help Documentation Library.
Planning to Configure the Dell Management Console
After installing the Dell Management Console, you must plan to configure it.
See "Configuration Page" on page 46 for instructions to configure Dell
Management Console.
My network has Dell and non-Dell devices. Should I configure
them separately?
Yes, you must import the appropriate MIBs for all non-Dell devices that
you want to monitor. Importing the MIBs for non-Dell devices will allow
you to receive SNMP alerts for them.
What are the security options to be configured for using Dell
Management Console?
See the Symantec documents available in the Help Documentation
Library on role-based security.
I am migrating from Dell OpenManage IT Assistant. How do I migrate
the discovery ranges to Dell Management Console?
For information on migrating the discovery settings from IT Assistant, see
"Importing IT Assistant Discovery Settings" on page 31.
Is there any special configuration required for the features I want to use?
You can configure any or all features according to your requirements.
See Table 1-1 for the agents you should deploy on the managed devices
for each feature to work properly.
