Setting Up A Proxy Server [Wizard]
Set the proxy server in the Configuration Wizard or later using the Dell Management Center Settings → Proxy page.

• To not use a proxy server, click Save and Continue.
• To use a proxy server, under Settings enter a Proxy Server Address.
2. Enter the Proxy Port number.
3. Select the Credentials Required check box, if needed.

Scheduling Inventory Jobs [Wizard]
The inventory schedule configuration is similar between the Configuration Wizard and from the Dell Management Center
→ Settings option. The only difference is that the wizard supplies an option to select if you want to run the inventory
immediately.
NOTE: To make sure that the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter continues to display updated
information, it is recommended that you schedule a periodic inventory job. The inventory job consumes minimal
resources and will not degrade host performance.
To schedule an inventory job:
1. In the Configuration Wizard, in the Inventory Schedule window, do one of the following:
• To run inventory schedules, click On Selected Days.
• To not run inventory schedules, select Do not run inventory on Dell hosts.
2. If you select On Selected Days, then do the following:
a. Select the check box next to each day of the week that you want to run the inventory.
b. In the text box, enter the time in HH:MM format.
The time you enter is your local time. Therefore, if you want to run the inventory at the virtual appliance time
zone, calculate the time difference between your local and virtual appliance time zone, and then enter the time
appropriately.
