Purpose
This guide describes how to install and configure Enterprise Manager components. For information about
using Enterprise Manager to manage and monitor your Dell Compellent storage infrastructure, see the
Enterprise Manager Administrator’s Guide.
Audience
Storage administrators make up the target audience for this document. The intended reader has a working
knowledge of storage and networking concepts.
Related Publications
The following documentation is available for Dell Compellent storage components managed using
Enterprise Manager.
Dell Compellent v
Storage Center Documents
The following documentation is available for Storage Centers managed using Enterprise Manager.
Storage Center Release Notes
Contains information about features and open and resolved issues for a particular product version.
Storage Center Deployment Guide
Provides cabling instructions for Storage Center controllers, switches, and enclosures and provides
instructions for configuring a new Dell Compellent Storage Center using the System Manager Startup
wizard.
Storage Center System Manager Administrator’s Guide
Describes the Storage Center System Manager software that manages an individual Storage Center.
Storage Center Software Update Guide
Describes how to upgrade Storage Center software from an earlier version to the current version.
Storage Center Maintenance CD Instructions
Describes how to install Storage Center software on Storage Center controllers. Installing Storage Center
software using the Storage Center Maintenance CD is intended for use only by sites that cannot update
Storage Center using the standard update options available through the Storage Center System
Manager.
Storage Center Command Utility Reference Guide
Provides instructions for using the Storage Center Command Utility. The Command Utility provides a
command‐line interface (CLI) to enable management of Storage Center functionality on Windows,
Linux, Solaris, and AIX platforms.
Storage Center Command Set for Windows PowerShell
Provides instructions for getting started with Windows PowerShell cmdlets and scripting objects that
interact with the Storage Center via the PowerShell interactive shell, scripts, and PowerShell hosting
applications. Help for individual cmdlets is available online.
Enterprise Manager allows you to monitor, manage, and analyze Storage Centers and
FluidFS clusters from a centralized management console. The Enterprise Manager Data
Collector stores data and alerts it gathers from Storage Centers and FluidFS clusters in an
external database or an embedded database. Enterprise Manager Clients connect to the
Data Collector to perform monitoring and administrative tasks.
This guide describes how to install and configure required Enterprise Manager
components. For information about installing optional Enterprise Manager components,
see the Enterprise Manager Administrator’s Guide.
