OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Requirements
The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter (OMIVV) requires information from OpenManage on older generation servers, and more current platforms are restricted to start at the version of vSphere that understands the newer chipset. Due to this, there are limits on the version of vSphere that a given version of OMIVV will work with.
