Setup Guide

You can use OMSA to:

• Manage vCenter elements (detailed sensor/component-level health information).

• Clear command logs and system event logs (SELs).

• Obtain NIC statistics.

• Make sure that the OMIVV captures events from a selected host.

1. In the Conguration Wizard, on the OpenManage Server Admin page, use the OMSA Web Server URL text box to enter the

OMSA URL. You must include the full URL including the HTTPS.

2. To save this URL and nish the Conguration Wizard, click Finish.

Conguring NFS Shares

To use NFS shares with the OMIVV for backup and restore operations, rmware updates, and as a staging folder, there are certain

conguration items that you must complete. CIFS shares do not require additional conguration.

To congure NFS shares:

1. On the Linux or Unix OS machine hosting the NFS shares, edit /etc/exports to add: /share/path <appliance IP> (rw) *(ro).

This allows the virtual appliance full read and write access to the share, but limits all other users to read only.

2. Start nfs services:

service portmap start

service nfs start

service nfslock status

NOTE: The steps above may vary depending on the Linux distribution in use.

3. If any of the services were already running:

exportfs -ra
