Understanding How to Configure or Edit
the OpenManage Integration for VMware
vCenter
After you complete the basic installation of the OMIVV, the Initial Configuration Wizard is displayed when you click on the
OMIVV icon. Use the Initial Configuration Wizard to configure the Settings on first launch. For subsequent instances use
the Settings page. From the Initial Configuration Wizard you can create a connection profile, edit the settings of warranty,
inventory, events and alarms. Although using the Initial Configuration Wizard is the most common method used, you can
also accomplish this task through the appliance's OpenManage Integration → Manage → Settings page in the OMIVV. For
more information on the Initial Configuration Wizard, see, OpenManage Integration for VMWare vCenter User Guide available at
dell.com/support/manuals.
