The Dell OpenManage software consists of at least the following parts:
* Software for managing a network of servers, called the Dell Management
Console. This is the large part.
* Extension agents for Windows' SNMP agent on Windows systems or Net-SNMP on
Linux systems. These files are a lot smaller than the management software.
The Linux version of the Dell OpenManage software consists of multiple
RPM's. If you succeed in figuring out which RPM's implement the extension
agents then installing only these RPM's should be sufficient. As you
probably know, you can inspect the contents of an RPM file before you
install it with the command rpm -qlp ${filename}.rpm. This will take much
less time than developing these agent extensions from scratch.
