Executive summary
OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter (OMIVV) is designed to streamline the management processes
in a data center environment by allowing to use VMware vCenter server to manage full server infrastructure
includes both virtual and physical.
OMIVV also enables you to set the baselines (desired state) for server configuration, firmware, and driver levels
with cluster- aware updates for vSphere and vSAN clusters.
This technical white paper is intended to explain the detailed steps involved in creating custom firmware and
driver repository profiles through VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG) and Dell EMC Repository Manager
(DRM), attach the created firmware and driver repository to a vSAN cluster, compute the drift, and perform
firmware remediation through OMIVV.
This technical white paper describes standard OMIVV workflows. For more information about how OMIVV
works with vSphere Lifecycle Manager in vCenter 7.0 and later, see Dell EMC OMIVV as a Hardware Support
Manager for VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager.
