vSphere Lifecycle Manager overview
The vSphere Lifecycle Manager is a service that runs in vCenter server (applicable for vCenter 7.0 and later versions).
vSphere Lifecycle Manager allows you to create baseline image that consists of ESXi image, firmware, and driver. It will make sure that
every host in the cluster is aligned to the baseline image by performing compliance check. If any non-compliance, provides an option to
remediate cluster.
In vSphere Lifecycle Manager, OMIVV acts as a firmware add-on provider. For more information about the vSphere Lifecycle Manager,
see the VMware documentation.
To use vSphere Lifecycle Manager with OMIVV, vCenter registration is mandatory. For more information about registering vCenter and
vSphere Lifecycle Manager, see Register new vCenter server.
You can register the vSphere Lifecycle Manage (applicable for vCenter 7.0 and later) in Dell EMC Administration Console during vCenter
registration. After vCenter registration is successful, you can modify (register or unregister) the vSphere Lifecycle Manager registration
status on the VCENTER REGISTRATION page of Dell EMC administration console. For more information, see Register vSphere
Lifecycle Manager in Dell EMC administration console and Unregister vSphere Lifecycle Manager in Dell EMC administration console .
