Editing the OMSA Link

This procedure assumes that you have already installed an OMSA Web Server and that you have previously configured this link using the

Initial Configuration Wizard. See the OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide for the version of OMSA in use and for

instructions on how to install and configure the Web Server.

If you have not provided a link while running the Configuration Wizard, you can edit this link in OpenManage Integration for VMware

vCenter Manage > Settings tab. This is not applicable for Web Client.

NOTE:

OMSA is only required on Dell PowerEdge 11th generation servers or earlier. Web Client Initial Configuration

wizard does not have an option to provide the OMSA link. The OMSA link is applicable only for .net client.

1. In the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, on the Manage > Settings tab, under vCenter Settings and to the right side of

the OMSA Web Server URL, click Edit.

2. In the OMSA Web Server URL dialog box, type the URL.

You must include the full URL including the HTTPS.

3. Select Apply these settings to all vCenters check box to apply the OMSA URL to all vCenters. If you do not select this check box,

the OMSA URL is applied only to only one vCenter.

4. Verify that the link works by navigating to the host Summary tab for this host. Verify that the OMSA Console link is live within the Dell

Host Information.

Understanding Using OMSA with 11th Generation Servers

On servers earlier than Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers, you must install OMSA to work with the OpenManage Integration for

VMware vCenter. You can install OMSA automatically on Dell PowerEdge 11th generation hosts during deployment, or if you want to install

it manually, you may still do so.

To configure OMSA on Dell PowerEdge 11th generation hosts, choose from the following:

• Deploying the OMSA Agent onto an ESXi System

• Setting up an OMSA Trap Destination

NOTE:

Apart from the above options, you can use the .Net client and run Host Compliance, which can install and

configure the OMSA Agent.
