Set up Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers
About this task
You can use NTP to synchronize the OMIVV appliance clocks to that of an NTP server.
Steps
1. In the Administration Console, on the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, click Edit in the NTP Settings area.
2. Select Enabled. Enter the hostname or IP address of a preferred and secondary NTP server and click Apply.
3. After configuring NTP, start the terminal console and select the Sychronize date and time over the network check box.
If the time zone is different between vCenter and OMIVV, the communication error occurs. Set the same time zone between
OMIVV and vCenter.
Results
It might take few minutes for the OMIVV clock to synchronize with the NTP server.
NOTE:
If the OMIVV administration console is taking a long time to load information, ensure that NTP settings are correct
and the NTP server is reachable by the OMIVV virtual machine.
Configure deployment mode
About this task
For any of the mentioned deployment modes, ensure that you reserve sufficient memory resources to the OMIVV appliance
using reservations. See vSphere documentation for steps about reserving memory resources.
Ensure that the following system requirements for the required deployment modes are fulfilled by assigning these resources to
the VM containing OMIVV:
Table 2. System requirements for deployment modes
Deployment modes Number of hosts Number of CPUs Memory (GB) Minimum Storage
Small Up to 250 2 8 95 GB
Medium Up to 500 4 16 95 GB
Large Up to 1,000 8 32 95 GB
X Large mode Up to 2,000 12 32 95 GB
NOTE: MX chassis firmware update feature is supported only on medium, large, and extra large deployment modes.
You can select an appropriate deployment mode to scale OMIVV to match the number of nodes in your environment.
To integrate the OpenManage Mangement Pack for vRealize operations (vROPS) with OMIVV, the minimum required
deployment mode is Medium.
