6 Manage MX Chassis Infrastructure in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter (OMIVV) with a Unified Management IP
1 Introduction
Dell EMC has introduced new modular chassis called MX7000 having 7U modular enclosure with eight slots
that can hold 2S single or four 4S double-width compute sleds, which support 12Gbs single-width storage
sleds. For more information about PowerEdge MX7000 chassis, go to

us/work/shop/povw/poweredge-mx7000.
This technical white paper provides information about viewing the overall MX chassis inventory, the individual
components health, and firmware update in OMIVV 4.3 and later versions.
By using this white paper as a guide, you can have a better understanding about PowerEdge MX Chassis
infrastructure process using unified management IP and how to configure a chassis profile.
After creating the chassis profile, you will be able to see inventory and health information about the managed
chassis, compute nodes (hosts), storage, and IO modules. Also, you will be able to perform cluster-aware
firmware update on vSAN clusters of MX chassis compute notes using unified management IP and monitor
events emanating from the MX chassis and its compute nodes (hosts).
