I'm running xenserver 6.5 SP1 on my Poweredge M620. I want to take advantage of the remote host power on/off features but it looks like I need to install a Dell Supplemental Package.

I've been seeing a lot of people mention installing Open Manage Server Administrator and others are saying to install this RACADM driver(?). Can somebody please point me in the right direction - OMSA vs. RACADM? Any additional links would be appreciated as well.

The M620 is a blade server. The entire OOB management will be residing on the management board(s) of the chassis (M1000e?).

This seems to be iDRAC too, just as with Dell's standalone machines, so XenServer's documentation on remote host poweron still applies which tells you to install the Dell supplemental pack as well as the RACADM command line utility.

  • I reinstalled xenserver 6.5 and added the opemanage 8.1 supplemental pack during the install process which worked this time. Thanks for the response though. – jrd1989 Sep 22 '15 at 17:34
  • This was the iso I found and used for 6.5: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=212KT. I plan on upgrading to 7.1 in the near future, I'm hoping the same iso will work as well. – jrd1989 Apr 03 '17 at 14:04
