15 Deploying OpenManage Enterprise (OME)-Tech Release Virtual Appliance on different hypervisors
3 Deploying OpenManage Enterprise-Tech Release on
VMWare vSphere
3.1 Prerequisites
 vSphere 5.5 or later
 Recommended a minimum of 40 gigabytes available disk space—recommended 200 gigabytes.
 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 usinf the supplied OVF, which will
supply minimum requirements for running the OME-Tech Release appliance.
1. Click File  Deploy OVF.
2. Select the OVF source file—can be deployed from a local file or a URL.
3. Configure VM storage & network options as per the required configuration.
4. Turn on the VM.
5. Go to Common tasks after turning on the VM.
3.2 KVM
 Because of the wide variety of configurations deploying OpenManage Enterprise under KVM, explicit
instructions will not be provided.
 Ensure that at least 8 gigabytes of RAM are allocated, 4 virtual processors, and a single connected
NIC is available.
 After turning on the VM, go to Common tasks after turning on the VM.
