1. Log in to the vSphere Web client with administrative rights.
2. Browse to Administration → Role Manager in vSphere Web client.
3. Select a vCenter server system from the drop-down menu.

See OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User's Guide for more information on 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.
Registering OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter and
importing license file
When you purchase a license, the .XML file (license key) is available for download through the Dell Digital store that is available
at http://www.dell.com/support/licensing. If you are unable to download your license key(s), contact Dell Support by going to
www.dell.com/support/softwarecontacts to locate the regional Dell Support phone number for your product.
NOTE:
If you want to upload a custom certificate for your appliance, ensure that you upload the new certificate before

During deployment, if you select Power on after Deployment, the VM is powered on automatically after deployment is
complete.
2. To run the Administration Console, click the Console tab in the main VMware vCenter window.

Enter.
