a) Under vCenter Name, in the vCenter Server IP or Hostname text box, enter the server IP or host name, and then in the

The description is optional.
NOTE:
It is recommended that register OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter with the VMware vCenter
by using Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Ensure that the host name of the vCenter is properly resolvable
by the DNS server for FQDN-based registrations.
b) Under vCenter User Account, in vCenter User Name, enter the Admin user name or the user name with necessary privileges.
Enter the username as domain\user or domain/user or user@domain. OMIVV uses the Admin user account or the user
with necessary privileges for vCenter administration.
c) In Password, enter the password.
d) In Verify Password, enter the password again.
22. Click Register.
NOTE:
OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter currently supports up to 1000 hosts for large deployment mode
with a single vCenter instance or multiple vCenter servers by using the linked mode.

• If you are using the OMIVV trial version, you can view the OMIVV icon.

support/licensing, and you can import this license to your virtual appliance. To import the license file, click Upload License.
24. In the Upload License window, click Browse to navigate to the license file, and then click Upload to import the license file.
NOTE:

Support by going to www.dell.com/support/softwarecontacts to locate the regional Dell Support phone number for
your product.
After OMIVV is registered, the OMIVV icon is displayed under the Administration category of the web client home page.
