OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Version 4.3

Adding OEM hosts

About this task

Along with Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, OMIVV also supports rebranded and debranded servers. For more information about OEM, see https://www.dellemc.com.

NOTE: If the WBEM service is already enabled, OMIVV determines the iDRAC connectivity of the host. If the connection is available, OMIVV adds the host to the managed list. If OMIVV is unable to determine, you must manually select the host on the Add OEM Hosts wizard so that the host is added to the OMIVV-managed list.
NOTE: If the WBEM service is disabled or iDRAC is not reachable, use Add OEM Hosts wizard so that the host is added to the OMIVV-managed list.
