OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

Enabling The OMSA Link [Wizard]

To launch OpenManage Server Administator (OMSA) within the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter virtual appliance, the OMSA Web Server must be installed and configured. See the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide for instructions on how to install and configure the Web Server.

NOTE: OMSA is only required on Dell servers prior to Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers.

You can use OMSA to:

  • Manage vCenter elements (detailed sensor/component-level health information).
  • Clear command logs and system event logs (SELs).
  • Obtain NIC statistics.
  • Make sure that the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter captures events from a selected host.
  1. In the Configuration Wizard, on the OpenManage Server Admin page, use the OMSA Web Server URL text box to enter the OMSA URL. You must include the full URL including the HTTPS.

  2. To save this URL and finish the Configuration Wizard, click Finish.
