• Notification on the availability of the latest version of OMIVV
• Support for up to 1000 hosts with a single vCenter instance or multiple vCenter servers

Important Notes
1. From OMIVV 4.0 onwards, only VMware vSphere Web client is supported and the vSphere Desktop client is not supported
2. For vCenter 6.5 and later, the OMIVV appliance is only available for the flash version. The OMIVV appliance is not available for the
HTML5 version.
3. For using the DNS server, the recommended practices are:
a. OMIVV supports only IPv4 IP addresses. Although both static IP assignment and DHCP assignment are supported, Dell
recommends you to assign a static IP address. Assign a static IP address and host name when you deploy an OMIVV appliance
with a valid DNS registration. A static IP address ensures that during the system restart, the IP address of the OMIVV appliance
remains same.
b. Ensure that OMIVV host name entries are present in both forward and reverse lookup zones in your DNS server.
4. For the OMIVV appliance mode, ensure that you deploy OMIVV in the appropriate mode based on your virtualization environment. For
more information, see the section, “System requirements for deployment modes” in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter
Version 4.0 Installation Guide.
5. Configure your network to match the port requirements. For more information, see the section, “Port information” in OpenManage
Integration for VMware vCenter Version 4.0 Installation Guide.
