Setup Guide

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 dierence between your local and virtual appliance time zone, and then enter the time appropriately.

3. To apply the changes and continue, click Save and Continue.

NOTE: OMIVV connects to internet to fetch the warranty information of your hosts. Depending on your network

settings, you might have to congure proxy for the warranty job to run successfully.

Conguring the Deployment Credentials [Wizard]

Deployment credentials are used to communicate securely with a bare-metal system that is discovered. For secure communication

with iDRAC, OMIVV uses deployment credentials from initial discovery until the end of the deployment process.

WARNING: This feature is not functional in this release for security reasons.

Setting The Default Firmware Update Repository [Wizard]

Firmware repository settings contain the rmware catalog location used to update deployed servers. You can set up rmware

repository initially here in the wizard or later from the Dell Management Center Settings option. In addition, you can run the rmware

update later from the OpenManage Integration tab.

To set the default rmware update repository:

1. In the Conguration Wizard, on the Firmware Repository page, to choose the default repository for rmware updates, select

one of the following:

• Dell Online

Default rmware repository (ftp.dell.com) with a staging folder. The OMIVV downloads selected rmware updates and

stores them in the staging folder, and then they are applied as necessary.

NOTE: OMIVV connects to internet to get the catalog and rmware packages applicable to your hosts.

Depending on your network settings, you might have to congure proxy for the rmware update task to run

successfully from Dell online.

• Local/shared repository

These are created with the Dell Repository Manager application. This local repository should be a network share. OMIVV

supports both NFS and CIFS shares.

2. If you selected Local/shared repository, do the following:

a. Enter the Catalog File Location using the following format:

• NFS share for xml le: host:/share/lename.xml

• NFS share for gz le: host/share/lename.gz

• CIFS share for xml le: \\host\share\lename.xml

• CIFS share for gz le: \\host\share\lename.gz

b. If using a CIFS share, enter the User Name, Password, and Verify Password; the passwords must match. These elds are

only active when entering a CIFS share.

NOTE: The @ character is not supported for use in shared network folder user names/passwords.

c. To validate your entries click Begin Test.

3. To save this selection and continue the Conguration Wizard, click Save and Continue.

Enabling The OMSA Link [Wizard]

To launch OMSA within the OMIVV virtual appliance, the OMSA Web Server must be installed and congured. See Dell

OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide for instructions on how to install and congure the Web Server.

NOTE: OMSA is only required on Dell servers prior to 12

Generation.
