Deploying The OMSA Agent Onto An ESXi System
Install the OMSA VIB on an ESXi system to gather inventory and alert information from the systems.
NOTE: OpenManage agents
are required on Dell hosts earlier than Dell PowerEdge 12th generation
servers. Install OMSA using the OpenManage Integration for VMware
vCenter or install manually to hosts prior
to installing the OpenManage Integration for VMware
vCenter. Details on manually installing the agents
are at http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/eslvmwre/sysman/sysman.htm Open the guide for the appropriate version of ESX/ESXi software,
and look for the chapter “Installing the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator.”
NOTE: The following URL
contains installation information and a download link for the OMSA
VIB: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/Install+and+Configure+OMSA+on+ESX
If not already installed, install the vSphere command line tool (vSphere CLI) from http://www.VMWare.com.
Enter the following command:
Vihostupdate.pl -server <IP Address of ESXi host> -i -b OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.3.0-2075.VIB-ESX41i_A00.8.zip
NOTE: It can take a few minutes for OMSA to install. This command requires a reboot of the host after it completes.
