Installation Instructions
The installation procedure for installing the Dell OpenManage Essentials Plug-in for OEM 12c follows the
standard Oracle documented procedure for installing any non-Oracle OEM plug-in.
The following are the basic steps:
1. Import the .opar into the OMS.
Like other non-Oracle plug-ins, this plug-in must be imported using the emcli import_update
command. The following is an example of the command:
$ emcli import_update -file=C:\dell.em.ome_12.1.0.1.0_1.0.X.opar -omslocal
2. Deploy plug-in to OMS
After the plug-in is uploaded to the OMS, the plug-in must then be deployed to the OMS either
through the emcli or using the "Plug-ins" page in Cloud Control.
3. Deploy plug-in to OMA
In addition to the OMS deployment, the plug-in must also be deployed to the OMA. This, also, can be
done either through the emcli or using the "Plug-ins" page in Cloud Control.
4. Manually add the Dell OpenManage Essentials target
The Dell OpenManage Essentials Plug-in utilizes a parent-child target structure, meaning that each
Dell device monitored from OpenManage Essentials will be a child target of an OpenManage
Essentials plug-in target.
