7 Manage MX Chassis Infrastructure in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter (OMIVV) with a Unified Management IP
2 Prerequisites for managing MX7000 using OMIVV
The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter 4.3 release is designed to display the MX chassis information
within the VMware vSphere Web Client. Chassis information is available only on the current iDRAC9 supported
servers that are exclusively designed for PowerEdge MX chassis. For more information about installing OMIVV
4.3, see the OMIVV 4.3 Installation Guide
available at dell.com/support.
If you want to view the information about chassis and health in the VMware Web Client, the chassis must be
added and inventoried. To monitor the PowerEdge MX chassis using Web Client, ensure that the following
configuration prerequisites are fulfilled:
• A valid PowerEdge MX Chassis management IP and user credentials.
• The host (compute sleds) of the MX chassis managed by VMware vCenter.
