3 Important notes This section provides important information that you must consider when you are working on OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter. • OMIVV supports BIOS mode to deploy hypervisor on the target server. Ensure that you have BIOS mode selected in the reference hardware profile before applying the hypervisor profile. If there is no hardware profile selected, ensure that you manually configure the Boot mode as BIOS and reboot the server before applying the hypervisor profile.
