OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Version 4.3

Using OMSA with 11th generation servers

To manage the PowerEdge 11th generation servers, OMIVV requires OMSA to be running on them. For an 11th generation host that is deployed though OMIVV, OMSA is installed automatically. For 11th generation hosts that you deploy manually, you can choose either of the following:

NOTE: When deploying the OMSA agent using OMIVV, OMIVV starts the HttpClient service and enables port 8080 and releases after ESXi 5.0 to download OMSA VIB and install it. Once the OMSA installation is completed, the service automatically stops and the port is closed.
NOTE: Apart from the preceding options, you can use the web client host compliance, which installs and configures the OMSA agent.
