Dell OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

Understanding Using OMSA with 11th Generation Servers

On servers earlier than Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers, you must install OMSA to work with the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter. You can install OMSA automatically on Dell PowerEdge 11th generation hosts during deployment, or if you want to install it manually, you may still do so.

To configure OMSA on Dell PowerEdge 11th generation hosts, choose from the following:

  • Deploying the OMSA Agent onto an ESXi System

  • Setting up an OMSA Trap Destination

NOTE: Apart from the above options, you can use the .Net client and run Host Compliance, which can install and configure the OMSA Agent.
