NOTE: After the RPM upgrade is complete, you can view the login screen in the OMIVV console. Open a browser, provide
the https:\\<ApplianceIP|hostname> link, and navigate to the APPLIANCE UPDATE area. You can verify that the available
and current virtual appliance versions are same. If you have enabled Proactive HA on clusters, OMIVV unregisters the Dell
Inc provider for those clusters and re-registers the Dell Inc provider after upgrade. Hence, health updates for the Dell EMC
hosts are not available until upgrade is complete.
Updating appliance through backup and restore
To update the OMIVV appliance from the OMIVV version x to version y, perform the following steps:
1. Take a backup of the database for the older release.
2. Power off the older OMIVV appliance from vCenter.
NOTE: Do not unregister the OMIVV plug-in from vCenter. Unregistering the plug-in from vCenter removes all the
alarms registered on vCenter by the OMIVV plug-in and all the customization that is performed on the alarms, such as
actions, and so on.
3. Deploy the new OpenManage Integration version y OVF.
4. Power on the OpenManage Integration version y appliance.
5. Set up the network, time zone, and so on, for the version y appliance.
NOTE: Ensure that the new OpenManage Integration version y appliance has the same IP address as the old appliance.
NOTE: The OMIVV plug-in might not work properly if the IP address for the version y appliance is different from the IP
address of the older appliance. In such a scenario, unregister and re-register all the vCenter instances.
6. Restore the database to the new OMIVV appliance. See Restoring the OMIVV database from a backup.
7. Verify the appliance. See the Installation verification in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Installation Guide
available at Dell.com/support/manuals.
8. Run the Inventory on all the registered vCenter servers.
NOTE:
It is recommended that after the upgrade, you run the inventory again on all the hosts that the plug-in manages.
To run the inventory on demand, see the Scheduling inventory jobs.
NOTE: If the IP address of the new OMIVV version y is changed from the OMIVV version x, configure the trap
destination for the SNMP traps to point to the new appliance. For 12th and later generation servers, the IP change is
fixed by running the inventory on these hosts. While running the inventory on 12th generation hosts, if SNMP traps
do not point to the new IP, those hosts are listed as noncomplaint. For hosts earlier than 12th generation that were
compliant with earlier versions, the IP change is displayed as noncompliant and requires you to configure Dell EMC
OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). To fix vSphere host compliance issues, see Running the fix noncompliant
vSphere hosts wizard.
