Install Guide

The RESTORE ALARMS option is a convenient way to restore the default alarm configuration without uninstalling and
reinstalling the product. If any Dell EMC alarm configurations are changed since installation, those changes are reverted
using the RESTORE ALARMS option.
NOTE: The events and alarms settings are not enabled after restoring the appliance. You can enable the Events and
Alarms settings again from the Settings tab.
Configuration tasks on the Settings page
On the Settings page, you can perform the following tasks:
● Configure warranty expiration notification
● Configure latest appliance version notification
● Configure deployment credentials
● Override severity of health update notification
● Initial Configuration
Configure warranty expiration notification
Enable the warranty expiration notification to get notified if warranties for any of the hosts are nearing expiration.
1. On the OMIVV home page, click Settings > Notifications > Warranty Expiration Notification.
2. Select Enable Warranty Expiration Notification for hosts.
3. Select the number of days to be notified before the warranty expires.
4. Click APPLY.
Configure latest appliance version notification
To get notified about the availability of a new OMIVV version, select the Enable Latest Version Notification
(Recommended) check box. It is recommended that you check it on weekly basis. To use the latest appliance version
notification features of OMIVV, you must have an Internet connection. If your environment requires a proxy to connect to
Internet, ensure that you configure the proxy settings on the Admin portal.
To receive periodic notification about the availability of latest version (RPM, OVF, RPM/OVF) of OMIVV, perform the following
steps to configure the latest version notification:
1. On the OMIVV home page, click Settings > Appliance Settings > Notifications > Latest Version Notification.
2. Select the Enable Latest Version Notification (Recommended) check box.
3. To receive the latest appliance version notification, select the day and time.
4. Click APPLY.
Configure deployment credentials
OMIVV acts as a provisioning server. The deployment credentials enable you to communicate with iDRAC that uses the
OMIVV plugin as a provisioning server in the auto discovery process. The deployment credentials enable you to set up iDRAC
credentials to communicate securely with a bare-metal server that is discovered using auto discovery until the operating system
deployment is complete.
After the operating system deployment process is successfully complete, OMIVV changes the iDRAC credentials as provided
in the host credential profile. If you change the deployment credentials, all newly discovered systems using auto discovery are
provisioned with the new iDRAC credentials from that point onwards. However, the credentials on servers that are discovered
before the change of deployment credentials are not affected by this change.
1. On the OMIVV home page, click Settings > Appliance Settings > Deployment Credentials.
2. Enter the username and password. The default username is root and password is calvin.
Ensure that you provide only the iDRAC supported characters and iDRAC local credentials.
3. Click APPLY.
