Configure warranty expiration notification

Enable the warranty expiration notification to get notified if warranties for any of the hosts are nearing expiration.

1. On the OMIVV home page, click Settings > Notifications > Warranty Expiration Notification.

2. Select Enable Warranty Expiration Notification for hosts.

3. Select the number of days to be notified before the warranty expires.

4. Click APPLY.

Configure latest appliance version notification

To get notified about the availability of a new OMIVV version, select the Enable Latest Version Notification (Recommended) check

box. It is recommended that you check it on weekly basis. To use the latest appliance version notification features of OMIVV, you must

have an Internet connection. If your environment requires a proxy to connect to Internet, ensure that you configure the proxy settings on

the Admin portal.

To receive periodic notification about the availability of latest version (RPM, OVF, RPM/OVF) of OMIVV, perform the following steps to

configure the latest version notification:

1. On the OMIVV home page, click Settings > Appliance Settings > Notifications > Latest Version Notification.

2. Select the Enable Latest Version Notification (Recommended) check box.

3. To receive the latest appliance version notification, select the day and time.

4. Click APPLY.

Configure deployment credentials

OMIVV acts as a provisioning server. The deployment credentials enable you to communicate with iDRAC that uses the OMIVV plugin as a

provisioning server in the auto discovery process. The deployment credentials enable you to set up iDRAC credentials to communicate

securely with a bare-metal server that is discovered using auto discovery until the operating system deployment is complete.

After the operating system deployment process is successfully complete, OMIVV changes the iDRAC credentials as provided in the host

credential profile. If you change the deployment credentials, all newly discovered systems using auto discovery are provisioned with the

new iDRAC credentials from that point onwards. However, the credentials on servers that are discovered before the change of

deployment credentials are not affected by this change.

1. On the OMIVV home page, click Settings > Appliance Settings > Deployment Credentials.

2. Enter the username and password. The default username is root and password is calvin.

Ensure that you provide only the iDRAC supported characters and iDRAC local credentials.

3. Click APPLY.

Override severity of health update notification

You can configure to override the existing severity of the Dell Proactive HA events for the Dell EMC host and its components with

customized severity, which is aligned to your environment.

The following are the severity levels that apply to each of the Proactive HA events:

• Info

• Moderately Degraded

• Severely Degraded

NOTE: You cannot customize the severity of the Proactive HA components with the Info severity level.

1. In OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, click Settings > Override Severity for Proactive HA.
