Deployment Guide

a. Thick Provision Eager Zeroed [Recommended]

An eager-zeroed thick disk has all the space allocated and zeroed out at the time of creation. This type of disk

increases the time it takes to create the disk, but results in the best performance, even on the first write to

each block.

Registering OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter And Importing The License File

This procedure assumes that you have got the licenses in the form of an e-mail attachment from

download_software@dell.com. If you have more than one license, you can add the one license after another. The

license XML file is used in this procedure and it does not come with a hard coded file name.

NOTE: You cannot use the individual license XML file to upload, instead use the license XML file included in a

compressed file. Some editors might add a NULL String to the end of the license when the file is transferred or

edited. Therefore, it is not recognized by the XML parser.

1. From the vSphere client, select Home → Hosts and Clusters, then in the left panel, locate the OpenManage

Integration just deployed, and then click Power on the virtual machine.

2. Click the Console tab in the main VMware vCenter window to initiate the Administration Console.

3. Allow the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter to finish booting up and then enter the user name for the

administrator (the default is Admin), and set a password.

4. Configure the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter network and time zone information.
