8. Verify the appliance.
For more information, see the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Quick Installation Guide for vSphere Web
Client Version 3.2 to ensure that the database migration is successful.
9. Run the Inventory on all the hosts.
NOTE:
It is recommended that after the upgrade, you run the inventory again on all the hosts that the OMIVV manages. For
more information, see the Running inventory jobs in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User’s Guide.
If the IP address of the new OMIVV version 3.2 appliance is changed from the old appliance, configure the trap
destination for the SNMP traps to point to the new appliance. For 12th generation and higher generation servers, the
IP change is fixed by running inventory on these hosts. For hosts earlier than 12th generation that were compliant with
earlier versions, the IP change is displayed as noncompliant and requires you to configure Dell EMC OpenManage Server
Administrator (OMSA). For more information on fixing the host compliance, see Reporting and fixing compliance
for vSphere hosts in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User’s Guide available at Dell.com/support/
manuals.
