Configure OMIVV appliance with two network
adapters
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 network adapters. If the out-of-band network can be accessed
using the vSphere network then, do not configure two network adapters 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.
1. Shut down the OMIVV appliance.
2. Edit the VM settings using the vSphere Client (HTML-5) and add the additional Network adapter. To edit the VM settings,
right-click VM, and then click Edit Settings.
3. Click ADD NEW DEVICE, select Network Adapter.
a. Select the appropriate network for the network adapter, and then select the Connect At Power On check box.
b. Select the E1000 adapter type from the drop-down menu. OMIVV supports only E1000 type of network adapter.
