34 Manage MX Chassis Infrastructure in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter (OMIVV) with a Unified Management IP
7 Manage Proactive HA (PHA) in OMIVV
Proactive HA is a vCenter (vCenter 6.5 and later) feature that works with OMIVV. When you enable Proactive
HA, the feature safeguards your workloads by proactively taking measures based on degradation of redundancy
health of supported components in a host.
After assessing the redundancy health status of the supported host components, the OMIVV appliance updates
the health status change to the vCenter server. The available states of redundancy health status for the
supported components (PSUs, fans, and IDSDMs) are:
• Healthy (Information)—component operating normally
• Warning (Moderately degraded)—component has a noncritical error
• Critical (Severely degraded)—component has a critical failure
Note—When hosts (that are managed by using chassis) are added to a PHA-enabled cluster, and if IDSDM
components are present, ensure that the Internal SD Card Redundancy is configured as “Mirror” in iDRAC
Settings.
For more information, see the OMIVV User’s Guide at dell.com/support.
Conclusion
Starting with version 4.3, the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter presents information about the
MX chassis to the VMware vSphere web client. By configuring a chassis profile, an administrator can view
high-level inventory and health information about the associated MX chassis and MX hosts, and then drill
down to additional information as required, all these can be done without logging in to the OpenManage
Enterprise-Modular web console.
