Deploy Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise on VMware vSphere
16 Deploy Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Virtual Appliance on Different Hypervisors
3 Deploy Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise on VMware
vSphere
3.1 Prerequisites for deploying OpenManage Enterprise on VMware
vSphere
 The vSphere 5.5 or later versions.
 While deploying OpenManage Enterprise on Open Virtualization Format (OVF) specification based
hypervisors, it is recommended to use thick provisioning.
 Recommended deploying by using VMWare vSphere Standalone client (Chrome no longer works with
vSphere Web Client properly because NPAPI is any longer supported).
 While you can deploy the VMDK manually, we recommend deploying by using the supplied OVF, which
will supply minimum requirements for running the Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise appliance.
3.2 Deploy OpenManage Enterprise by using KVM
 Because of the wide variety of configurations available for deploying Dell EMC OpenManage
Enterprise under KVM, explicit instructions is not be provided in this technical white paper.
 Ensure that at least 16 GBs of RAM, four virtual processors, and a single connected NIC is available.
 After starting on the VM, go to Common tasks after starting the VM.
