Registering OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

and importing license file

Ensure that your licenses are ready for download at http://www.dell.com/support/licensing. If you have ordered more than one license,

they might be shipped separately at different times. You can check the status of other license items at Order status. The license file is

available as an .XML format.

NOTE: If you want to upload a custom certificate for your appliance, ensure that you upload the new certificate before

vCenter registration. If you upload the new custom certificate after vCenter registration, communication errors are

displayed in the web client. To fix this issue, unregister, and re-register the appliance with vCenter.

1. From the vSphere web client, click Home > Hosts and Clusters, then in the left panel, locate OMIVV that you had deployed, and
