About this task
If multiple vCenter instances share the same vCenter linked mode environment and vCenter instances are registered with more
than one instance of an OMIVV appliance, you can switch between the different instances of OMIVV appliance.
You have an option to switch between default appliance and current active appliance. When you log in to vCenter Client for
the first time, the first compliant appliance is selected as default and current active appliance. You can choose to change both
default and current active appliances as per your requirement. This setting is unique for each vCenter within the vCenter linked
mode environment.
Steps
1. On the OMIVV home page, click CHANGE.
● IP/Name—The OMIVV appliance FQDN or IP
● Version—The current version of the OMIVV appliance
● Compliance Status—The status (Compliant or Non-compliant) of the OMIVV appliance based on the version
● Availability Status—The availability status of the OMIVV appliance based on whether the OMIVV services are running.
OK or ERROR is displayed to indicate the working status of OMIVV.
● Registered vCenter Servers—The registered vCenter server FQDN or IP
● Default appliance— The default appliance. By default, the first appliance in the list is selected as default appliance
until you change the settings. Different vCenters can have different default appliance. This setting remains default option

● Current active appliance— The current active appliance. This setting is default only for current active session.
