About Host, Bare Metal, and iDRAC Compliance Issues

To manage hosts, bare metal servers, and iDRAC with the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter each must meet certain minimum criteria.

Use the Fix Non-Compliant Hosts, Bare Metal Server, and iDRAC compliance links to see which host/bare metal servers/iDRACs in your configuration are not compliant and fix them. This wizard displays hosts/bare metal servers/iDRACs where:

  • Hosts have not been assigned to a connection profile.

    If a connection profile is not assigned to a host, a dialog box is offered to take you to the Connection Profile screen. This configuration is outside this wizard. Return later to run this wizard.

  • Collect System Inventory on Reboot (CSIOR) is disabled or has not been run, which requires a manual reboot.
  • The OMSA agent (Host Root credentials ) is not installed, is out of date, or not configured properly.
  • Bare metal servers have outdated Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) firmware, Lifecycle Controller (LC) firmware, or BIOS versions.

In each case, you need to fix the compliance issues by running one of the following:
