a) Requires Modular Disk Storage Manager Controller software installed on the OpenManage Essentials system.
NOTE: Storage devices hosted by the PowerEdge M1000e chassis are not classied under the Storage node of the
chassis until the PowerEdge M1000e chassis is inventoried.
NOTE: When an EqualLogic group that is associated with a NAS appliance is discovered, the EqualLogic group is
displayed in the device tree under
NAS Clusters and Storage Devices → Dell EqualLogic Groups. However, the members
of the EqualLogic group are displayed only under Dell EqualLogic Groups.
Setting up and conguring VMware ESXi 5
NOTE: Before setting up and conguring VMware ESXi 5, ensure that you have ESXi 5 build 474610 or later. If you do not
have the required build, download the latest build from vmware.com.
To set up and congure VMware ESXi 5:
1. Download the latest version (7.4) of OpenManage oine bundle for ESXi from dell.com/support.
2. If you have enabled SSH, copy the le using WinSCP or a similar application to the /tmp folder on the ESXi 5 host.
3. Using Putty, change permissions on the OpenManage oine bundle for ESXi le using the command chmod u+x <Dell
OpenManage version 7.4 offline bundle for ESXi file name>.zip.
NOTE: You can also change permissions using WinSCP.
4. Run the following commands using:
• Putty — esxcli software vib install –d /tmp/<Dell OpenManage version 7.4 VIB for ESXi
file name>.zip
• VMware CLI — esxcli –server <IP Address of ESXi 5 Host> software vib install –d /tmp/
<Dell OpenManage version 7.4 VIB for ESXi file name>.zip
The message VIBs Installed: Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_7.4-0000 is displayed.
5. Restart the host system.
6. After restarting, verify if OpenManage is installed by running the following commands using:
• Putty — esxcli software vib list
• VMware CLI — esxcli –server <IP Address of ESXi 5 Host> software vib list
7. Congure SNMP, for hardware alerts on the ESXi 5 host, to send SNMP traps to OpenManage Essentials. SNMP is not used
for discovery. WS-Man is required for discovery and inventory of an ESXi 5 host. To group the VMs with the ESXi host in the
OpenManage Essentials device tree after you discover the VM, SNMP must be enabled on the ESXi host and the VM.
8. Create a discovery range and congure WS-Man.
