Registering vCenter server by non-administrator user with required
privileges
You can register a vCenter server for the OMIVV appliance by using a non-administrator user with the required privileges.
See step 5 to step 9 of Registering OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter and importing license file on page 12 for
information on registering a vCenter server through a non-administrator user or as an administrator.
Assigning Dell privileges to existing role
You can edit an existing role to assign the Dell privileges.
NOTE: Ensure that you are logged in as a user with administrator privileges.
1. Log in to the vSphere web client with administrative rights.
2. Browse to Administration → Roles in the vSphere web client.
3. Select a vCenter server system from the Roles provider drop-down list.
4. Select the role from the Roles list, and click the
icon.
5. Select the following Dell privileges for the selected role and click OK:
● Dell.Configuration
● Dell.Deploy-Provisioning
● Dell.Inventory
● Dell.Monitoring
● Dell.Reporting
See Security roles and permissions in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User’s Guide available at Dell.com/
support/manuals for more information about the available OMIVV roles within vCenter.
The changes to permissions and roles take effect immediately. The user with necessary privileges can now perform the
OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter operations.
NOTE:
For all vCenter operations, OMIVV uses the privileges of the registered user and not the privileges of the logged-in
user.
NOTE: If specific pages of OMIVV are accessed with no Dell privileges assigned to the logged-in user, the 2000000 error is
displayed.
Registering OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter and
importing license file
Ensure that your licenses are ready for download at http://www.dell.com/support/licensing. If you have ordered more than one
license, they might be shipped separately at different times. You can check the status of other license items at Order status.
The license file is available as an .XML format.
NOTE:
If you want to upload a custom certificate for your appliance, ensure that you upload the new certificate before
vCenter registration. If you upload the new custom certificate after vCenter registration, communication errors are
displayed in the web client. To fix this issue, unregister, and re-register the appliance with vCenter.
