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:
- Install and configure OMSA using OMIVV. See Setting up OMSA trap destination.
- Install and configure OMSA manually. See Deploying OMSA agent on the ESXi system.
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.
