7. To test the connection profile, select one or more hosts and click .
NOTE:
This step is optional and verifies whether the host and iDRAC credentials are correct. Although this step is
optional, it is recommended that you to test the connection profile.
NOTE: The test connection fails for all hosts running ESXi 6.5 and/or later that has the WBEM service disabled. For
such hosts, WBEM service is automatically enabled when you perform inventory on those hosts. Although the test
connection fails, it is recommended that you complete the connection profile wizard actions, run the inventory on the
hosts, and then test the connection profile again.
8. To complete the profile creation, click Next.
For servers that do not have either an iDRAC Express or Enterprise card, the iDRAC test connection result states Not
Applicable for this system.
After hosts are added to connection profile, the IP address of OMIVV is automatically set to SNMP trap destination of host's
iDRAC, and OMIVV automatically enables the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) service for ESXi 6.5 hosts. OMIVV
uses the WBEM service to properly synchronize the ESXi host and the iDRAC relationships. If configuring the SNMP trap
destination fails for particular hosts, and/or enabling the WBEM service fails for particular hosts, those hosts are listed as
noncomplaint. To view the noncomplaint hosts that require SNMP trap destination to be reconfigured and/or WBEM services to
be enabled, see Running the fix noncompliant vSphere hosts wizard.
Modifying connection profile
After you create a connection profile, you can edit the profile name, description, associated hosts and iDRAC, and host
credentials.
NOTE:
The vCenters listed during this procedure are authenticated by using the same Single sign on (SSO). If you cannot
view a vCenter host, it might be on a different SSO or you might be using a VMware vCenter version earlier than version
5.5.
NOTE: Ensure that you do not update a connection profile when an inventory, a warranty, or a deployment job is running.
NOTE: Ensure that you do not move a host that is associated with a connection profile to another connection profile or
remove a host from a connection profile when an inventory, a warranty, or a deployment job is running.
