Initial configuration
After you complete the basic installation of OMIVV and registration of the vCenters, the Initial Configuration Wizard is displayed
automatically for the first time, when you launch OMIVV in vCenter.
If you want to launch the initial configuration wizard later, go to:
● Settings > Initial Configuration Wizard > START INITIAL CONFIGURATION WIZARD
● Dashboard > Quick References > START INITIAL CONFIGURATION WIZARD
1. On the Welcome page, read the instructions, and then click GET STARTED.
2. On the Select vCenter page, from the vCenters drop-down menu, select a specific vCenter or All Registered vCenters,
and then click NEXT.
NOTE:
If you have multiple vCenter servers that are part of the same PSC registered with the same OMIVV appliance,
and if you choose to configure a single vCenter server, repeat step 2 until you configure each vCenter.
3. On the Create Host Credential Profile page, click CREATE HOST CREDENTIAL PROFILE.
For more information about creating a host credential profile, see Create host credential profile on page 34.
After hosts are added to a host credential profile, the IP address of OMIVV is automatically set as SNMP trap destination for
host's iDRAC. OMIVV automatically enables the WBEM service for hosts running ESXi 6.5 and later.
OMIVV uses the WBEM service to properly synchronize the ESXi host and the iDRAC relationships. If configuring the SNMP
trap destination fails for particular hosts, and/or enabling the WBEM service fails for particular hosts, those hosts are listed
as non-complaint. To view and fix the non-compliance, see Fix a non-compliant host on page 65 .
4. On the Configure Additional Settings page, do the following:
a. Schedule inventory jobs. For more information about scheduling the inventory job, see Schedule inventory job on page
96.
b. Schedule warranty retrieval job. For more information about scheduling the warranty retrieval job, see Schedule warranty
retrieval jobs on page 96.
If you want to modify the inventory job schedule, go to Settings > Inventory Data Retrievalor Jobs > Host
Inventory.
If you want to modify the warranty retrieval job schedule, go to Settings > Warranty Retrieval > Jobs > Warranty.
c. Configure events and alarms. For information about configuring events and alarms, see Configure events and alarms on
page 87.
d. To apply individual settings, click the Apply button separately, and then click NEXT.
It is highly recommended to enable all the additional settings. If any of the additional settings are not applied, a message
is displayed indicating that the all the additional settings are mandatory.
5. On the Next Steps page, read the instructions, and then click FINISH.
Dell EMC recommends associating your OMIVV hosts with a configuration baseline because it enables you to closely monitor
the configuration changes happening in hosts and associated clusters. Configuration baseline can be created for any cluster
once the hosts are successfully managed by OMIVV. To create a configuration baseline, do the following:
● Create Repository Profile for Firmware and Driver—This helps you to define baselined firmware and driver versions.
● Create System Profile—This helps you to define baselined hardware configurations for hosts.
