Deploying the OMSA Agent onto an ESX System
Install the
OMSA tar.gz on an ESX 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://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1760.openmanage-server-administrator-omsa.aspx.
To deploy the OMSA agent tar.gz on an ESX system with the required remote enablement setting (-c) option:
Run the OMSA agent installation script:
srvadmin-install.sh -x -c
Start OMSA services:
srvadmin-services.sh start
If the OMSA agent is already installed, make sure that it has remote enablement configuration (-c) option or theOpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter installation will not complete successfully. Reinstall it with the -c option and restart the service:
srvadmin-install.sh -c srvadmin-services.sh restart
