The Dell Client Manager agent includes the Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation (OMCI) v7.4 agent embedded within it. If a target system is encountered that already has an older version of OpenManage Client Instrumentation, when attempting to install the Dell Client Manager agent, Dell Client Manager will upgrade earlier versions of OpenManage Client Instrumentation. For OpenManage Client Instrumentation versions 7.x, an automatic upgrade will occur. For OpenManage Client Instrumentation versions 6.x, the OpenManage Client Instrumentation agent will be uninstalled first and then the Dell Client Manager agent (containing OpenManage Client Instrumentation 7.4) will be installed. For OpenManage Client Instrumentation versions older than 6.x, the customer must first uninstall the agent manually. Note that the upgrade operation typically requires a reboot of the client system. These reboots happen automatically and the administrator has control over reboot options.
