Install Guide

Typically, the network that you have configured as the default gateway does not require any manual route configuration
because the gateway is capable of providing the reachability. However, for networks where default gateway is not
configured (the Use this connection only for resources on its network check box is selected), a manual route
configuration may be required. Because the default gateway is not configured for this network to reach external
networks, manual routing configurations are required.
NOTE:
Incorrect routing configuration may abruptly stop the network interface from responding. Ensure to
configure the routing entries appropriately.

10. Click Save . To configure another NIC, repeat the tasks 6–10.
11. Go to the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Virtual Appliance Setup utility, click Reboot Appliance. The
network configuration is complete only after restarting the OMIVV appliance.
NOTE:
After the appliance is successfully restarted, the NICs start working as configured. The status of NICs can be viewed by
logging in as readonly user and running the following commands: ifconfig, ping, and route -n.
Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Before registering an OMIVV to a vCenter, ensure that you upload the CSR.
Generating a new CSR prevents certificates that were created with the previously generated CSR from being uploaded to the
appliance. To generate a CSR, do the following:
1. On the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, click Generate Certificate Signing Request in the HTTPS CERTIFICATES
