Open Virtualization Format (OVF) deployment
If you have VMware vSphere virtual machine environment, it is recommended that you deploy OMIVV as an Open Virtualization
Format (OVF).
The OVF deployment model includes a pre-configured bundle with the OMIVV software and the Linux operating system that the
OMIVV software runs on.
The OVF environment also includes a pre-configured firewall that is tuned to the OMIVV communication requirement with the
monitored systems.
The OVF is deployed with an OVF template file. For more information about deploying OMIVV as an OVF, see the OpenManage
Integration for VMware vCenter 5.2 Installation Guide available at https://www.dell.com/support.
Security profiles
OMIVV has a default security profile for secure HTTP access. It is highly recommended to replace the Certificate Authority (CA)
signed certificates for the stronger security environments.
