• For the OMIVV appliance mode, ensure that you deploy OMIVV in the appropriate mode based on your virtualization environment. For

more information, see Conguring deployment mode.

• Congure your network to match the port requirements. For more information, see Port information.

Hardware requirements

OMIVV provides full support for several generations of the Dell EMC servers with full feature support for servers with iDRAC Express or

Enterprise. Extensive information about the platform requirements is available in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Release

Notes available at Dell.com/support/manuals. To verify that your host servers are eligible, see information about the following in the

subsequent subsections:

• Supported server and minimum BIOS

• iDRAC supported versions (both deployment and management)

• OMSA support for 11th Gen and older servers, and the ESXi version support (both deployment and management)

• Supported memory and space for OMIVV

OMIVV requires LAN on motherboard/Network daughter card that can access both iDRAC and CMC or Management Module systems

management network and the vCenter management network.

Conguring deployment mode

About this task

Ensure that the following system requirements for the desired deployment modes are met:

Table 1. System requirements for deployment modes

Deployment modes Number of hosts Number of CPUs Memory—in GB Minimum Storage

Small Up to 250 2 8 44 GB

Medium Up to 500 4 16 44 GB

Large Up to 1000 8 32 44 GB

NOTE: For any of the mentioned deployment modes, ensure that you reserve sucient amount of memory resources to the

OMIVV virtual appliance using reservations. See vSphere documentation for steps about reserving memory resources.

You can select an appropriate deployment mode to scale OMIVV to match the number of nodes in your environment.

Steps

1 In the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, scroll down to Deployment Mode.

The conguration values of the deployment mode such as Small, Medium, or Large is displayed and by default, the deployment mode

is set to Small.

2 Click Edit if you want to update the deployment mode based on the environment.

3 In the Edit mode, select the desired deployment mode after ensuring that the prerequisites are met.

4 Click Apply.

The allocated CPU and memory are veried against the required CPU and memory for the set deployment mode and either of the

following situations happen:

• If the verication fails, an error message is displayed.

• If the verication is successful, the OMIVV appliance restarts and the deployment mode are changed after you conrm the

change.
