OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Version 4.3

Support for OEM servers

OEM servers are supplied by Dell EMC partners, who offer features or portfolios similar to PowerEdge servers.

  • From OMIVV 4.3 onwards, OEM Rack and Tower servers are supported.
  • Onboard OEM servers by using the Add OEM Hosts wizard. For more information about adding OEM hosts, see Adding OEM hosts.
    NOTE: If the WBEM service is already enabled on the OEM hosts and is added to vCenter, by default, OMIVV adds those OEM servers to the OMIVV–managed list. Associate the hosts to the connection profile to manage these servers. For more information about creating a connection profile, see Creating connection profile.
  • After onboarding, all the host management processes will be similar to how Dell EMC PowerEdge servers are managed.
  • Bare-metal and hypervisor flows are also supported on OEM servers by using iDRAC.
