Users Guide

If hosts with WBEM non-compliance exist, ensure to manually fix the conditions for those hosts that caused the WBEM

service enablement to fail. You can fix the error conditions by viewing them in the user logs. Enable OMIVV to enable the

WBEM service for those hosts during inventory.

Fix iDRAC license compliance

The compatible iDRAC license is one of the compliance criteria for hosts. If hosts do not have compatible iDRAC license, those

hosts listed as noncompliant hosts on the Management Compliance page.

You can click a noncomplaint host to view the details such as iDRAC expiation date, license type, and license description. The

RUN INVENTORY is active if the iDRAC compliance status is non-compliant or Unknown for any of the hosts that are

associated to a host credential profile.

1. To fix the iDRAC license compliance, on the OMIVV home page, click Compliance & Deployment > Compliance >

Management Compliance.

2. Select a host for which iDRAC license is noncompliant, and click RENEW IDRAC LICENSE.

3. Log in to the Dell Digital Locker and update or purchase a new iDRAC license.

After you install an iDRAC license, run an inventory job for the host and return to this page after the inventory job is

successfully complete.

Support for OEM servers

OEM servers are supplied by Dell EMC partners, who offer features or portfolios similar to PowerEdge servers.

● From OMIVV 4.3 onwards, OEM Rack servers are supported.

● Add OEM servers by using the Add OEM Hosts wizard. For more information about adding OEM hosts, see Add OEM hosts

on page 70.

NOTE:

If the WBEM service is already enabled on the OEM hosts and added to vCenter, by default, OMIVV adds those

OEM servers to the OMIVV-managed list. Associate the hosts to the host credential profile to manage these servers.

For more information about creating a host credential profile, see Create host credential profile on page 38.

● After you add OEM servers, all the host management processes will be similar to how Dell EMC PowerEdge servers are

managed.

● Bare-metal and deployment features are also supported on OEM servers by using iDRAC.

Add OEM hosts

Along with Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, OMIVV also supports rebranded and debranded servers. For more information about

OEM, see https://www.dellemc.com.

If the WBEM service is already enabled, OMIVV determines the iDRAC connectivity of the host. If the connection is available,

OMIVV adds the host to the managed list.

If OMIVV is unable to determine, you must manually select the host on the Add OEM Hosts wizard so that the host is added to

the OMIVV-managed list.

If the WBEM service is disabled or iDRAC is not reachable, use Add OEM Hosts wizard so that the host is added to the

OMIVV-managed list.

1. On the OMIVV home page, click Compliance & Deployment > Compliance > Management Compliance > Add OEM

Hosts.

2. In the Add OEM Hosts window, from the vCenter Instance drop-down list, select an instance of vCenter.

3. From the Host Credential Profile drop-down list, select an appropriate host credential profile.

4. To add or remove the associated host, click ADD HOST.

The Select Hosts window is displayed.

5. In the Select Hosts window, select the hosts and click YES.

NOTE: Only the hosts that are not managed by OMIVV are displayed in the Select Hosts window.

OMIVV tests the connection automatically and test connection results are displayed in the Add OEM Hosts window.

The iDRAC Test and Host Test columns displays the test connection result for iDRAC Credentials and Host Credentials.
