Deploying the OMIVV OVF Using the vSphere Client

This procedure assumes that you have downloaded the zip le from the Dell Web site.

To deploy the OMIVV OVF using the vSphere Client:

1. Unzip the le containing the OMIVV virtual disk, and run setup.exe.

2. Double-click the Setup.exe le to agree to the EULA, extract and obtain the OVF le.

3. Copy/move the OVF le to a location accessible to the VMware vSphere host to which you will upload the appliance.

4. Start the VMware vSphere client.

5. From the VMware vSphere client, select File → Deploy OVF Template.

6. In the Source window, use the Browse button to locate the OVF package. The location can be a local drive, network drive, CD/

DVD, or from the Internet. The OMIVV le size is approximately 1.5 GB.

NOTE: The install can take 10-30 minutes if the OVF package resides on a network share. For the quickest

installation, it is recommended that you host the OVF on a local drive.
