Registering OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter and
Importing The License File
This procedure assumes that you have received the licenses in the form of an e-mail attachment from
[e-mail]. If you have more than one license, you can add the licenses one after another. The license file
is available as an XML format file.
NOTE:
If you want to upload a custom certificate for your appliance, you must upload the new certificate prior to vCenter
registration. If you upload the new custom certificate after vCenter registration, communication errors are displayed in the
Web client. To fix this issue, you must unregister and reregister the appliance with the vCenter.
1. From the vSphere Web Client, click Home > Hosts and Clusters, then in the left panel, locate the OMIVV that you just
deployed, and click Power on the virtual machine.
During deployment, if you select Power on after Deployment, the VM is powered on automatically after deployment is
complete.
2. Click the Console tab in the main VMware vCenter window to run the Administration Console.
3. Allow the OMIVV to finish booting up, and then enter the user name for the administrator (the default is Admin), and then
set a password.
