9 Dell EMC OMIVV as a Hardware Support Manager for VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager
3 Baselining using VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager
In vSphere 7.0, VMware released a new feature called vSphere Lifecycle Manager. It enables you to create
the cluster image and associate it to the cluster within in vCenter.
Cluster image can contain the following:
• Base image—ESXi image and it can be major version or minor version.
• add-on (Driver Components)—consists of components and theses components should be of higher
version than the components present in the base image.
• Hardware Support Package (HSP)—consists of firmware section and it contains the firmware
baseline image.
This section describes how you can enable OMIVV to act as an HSM. In order to use OMIVV as HSM, you
must have OMIVV version at least version 5.1 and later.
