7
Dell Management Center settings
If this is the first time accessing the registered vCenter using the Management Center, a configuration
wizard appears and guides you through the configuration process for the current vCenter. The settings
you entered are for the registered vCenter only.
Note: When using Linked Mode, it is helpful to preface the connection profiles with the name
of the vCenter
The Dell Server Management tab
When viewing a vCenter from the inventory view and the vCenter was registered with the Dell
Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter, the Dell Server Management tab displays at the DataCenter,
Cluster, and Host levels. The Dell Server Management tab should not be visible at these levels if you
are viewing a vCenter that has not been registered with the Dell Management Plug-in.

Conclusion
The Dell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter has features to reduce complexity and help you
update, manage, generate reports, and deploy Dell Servers. With linked mode, one vSphere Client
session can be used to view and manage your distributed multiple vCenter virtual
environment. Streamline the physical server management of Dell servers from within that same
vSphere Client session.
