NOTE:

Sometimes, after you configure the OMIVV appliance with a static IP, the OMIVV terminal utility page does not

immediately refresh and display the updated IP. To resolve this issue, exit the OMIVV terminal utility, and then log in

again.

8. To change the hostname of the OMIVV appliance, click Change Hostname.

a. Enter a valid hostname, and click Update hostname.

NOTE:

If any vCenter servers are already registered with the OMIVV appliance, unregister and re-register all the

vCenter instances. For more information, see the Manage un-registration and re-registration topic in the Installation

Guide.

9. Restart the appliance.

Configure OMIVV appliance with two Network Interface Controllers (NICs)

To manage the Dell EMC servers in your vSphere environment, OMIVV requires access to both the vSphere network (vCenter

and ESXi management network) and out-of-band network (iDRAC, CMC, and OME-Modular). If vSphere network and out-of-

band network are maintained as separate isolated network in your environment, OMIVV requires access for both the networks.

In this case, OMIVV appliance must be configured with two NICs. If the out-of-band network can be accessed using the

vSphere network, do not configure two NIC for the OMIVV appliance.

Ensure that you have the following information ready for both the out-of-band network and vSphere network:

● IP address, netmask (in the CIDR format), and gateway of the appliance (if static)

● Default gateway—It is mandatory to configure the default gateway to only one network that has an Internet connection. It is

recommenced to use vSphere network as the default gateway.

● Routing requirements (Network IP, Netmask, and gateway)—For other external networks that cannot be reached to either

through directly or using default gateway, configure the static routes.

● DNS requirements—The OMIVV supports DNS configuration for only one network. For more information about DNS

configuration, go to step 9 (b) in this topic.
