• Dell OpenManage Server Administrator 6.0.3 and ESXi 4

  I try to install Dell OpenManage Server Administrator version 6.0.3. I managed to install this sub ESXi 3.5 update 4. It says in the instructions activate OEM CIM providers by setting Misc.CimOemProvidersEnabled to 1. Misc.CimOemProvidersEnabled is supposed to be located under various advanced however, ESXi 4 is not. Anyone know where the moved the option or y at - it a new way to activate this feature with ESXi 4?

  You do not install agents on ESXi directly, they will come in the injected code of VMware/Dell as a variant of ESXi.  Indeed they are not installable on ESXi end-user.  HP already has similar variant for ESXi 3.5.  But to my knowledge, no hardware vendor has ESXi 4 variants yet out.

• IBM Director is similar to DELL OpenManage?

  Hello

  We use DELL and OpenManage Server for a few years.

  We will use IBM X 3650 server to run the new ESXi host.  We would like to know if IBM Director is something similar to DELL OpenManage?   Wouldn't be a free download? 

  In OpenManage, it is necessary to install the agent on ESXi host and use OpenManage on a physical server to access these agents on ESXi host.  Since we don't have server IBM, how these agents on IBM server are accessible?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Thank you

  IBM Director is free for the basic material followed (if the hardware is IBM).

  From what I remember that the server software is free and each piece of the IBM of hardwre that you buy - includes a license for the control of internal agent server IBM Director software.

  As said above for more sophisticated functions that there is an additional cost.

  Most of the management will be through the IMM (term of IBM for DRAC / ILO).

  You may be required to install some specific VIBs IBM or a custom of the ISO http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/os/vmware/esxi/

• The Dell Openmanager on Esxi5 server administrator

  Guys,

  I'm having problems installing software from Dell (Dell OpenManage Server Administrator) in one of our servers that use a VMWare Esxi 5.0 operating system
  
  Dell OpenManage is a software management that allows a proactive monitoring, diagnostics, and notifications on the server hardware.

  I'm following the procedure indicated by the Dell documentation:
  http://media.community.Dell.com/en/DTC/attach/omsa6.5%20For%20esxi5_kb.PDF
  starting on page 13 (installation of Server Administrator for ESXi).

  In the manual, we have 2 ways to do this:

  1. using the vSphere CLI

  After it we have this result:

  C:\Program VMware vSphere CLI > esxcli - Server x.x.x.x vib software install/var/log/vmware/Dell_ d

  OpenManage_ESXi_OM650-offline_bundle - 467660.zip
  Enter the user name: root
  Enter password: *.
  Result of the installation
  Message: host is not changed.
  Restart required: false
  VIBs installed:
  VIBs deleted:
  VIBs skipped: Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_6.5 - 0000

  No changes were made.

  
  2 - using the VMware vSphere Management Assistant

  Again, we have the same result:

  Enter the user name: root
  Enter password: *.
  Result of the installation
  Message: host is not changed.
  Restart required: false
  VIBs installed:
  VIBs deleted:
  VIBs skipped: Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_6.5 - 0000

  Anyone has any idea on what could prevent installation VIB? Attached is the installation package.

  Hello

  Please check out the original VIb file and you'll get another VIB file inside by the name Dell_OpenManage_ESXi500_OM700-offline_bundle - 643291.zip.

  Using the vSphere CLI

  1 copy the Dell_OpenManage_ESXi500_OM700 - offline_bundle - 643291.zip
  file to the var/log/vmware/Dell_OpenManage_ESXi500_OM700-offline_bundle-643291.zip.

  2 close all comments on the ESXi host operating systems and run the ESXi
  host in maintenance mode.

  3. If you are using Windows, go to the directory where the vSphere CLI
  utilities is installed and run the above command
  to step 4.
  If you are using vSphere CLI on Linux, run the command in step 4 of
  any directory.

  4. run the following command:
  esxcli - Server
  install software vib d/var/log/vmware /.<>
  OpenManage file >

  5. type the username root and the password of the ESXi host when you are prompted.
  The output of the command shows a successful update.

  6. restart the ESXi host system.

  Use software esxcli software esxcli or get vib vib list to confirm the installation.

• using vmware update manager to update Dell M630 ESXI 5.5 update 3

  I use put vmware update manager (VUM) up-to-date Dell M630 ESXI 5.5 updated 3. The Dell build was published on 11/13/15.

  The results of the baseline VUM are attached. I was surprised that some older patches from 2014 are suggested, and even complete full update and 2 update 3. Is a common practice to just update with whataver MUV said, or is it best to get VUM to apply the patches after the date of release of a version of the seller?

  If missing the update you must certainly apply. I'm just going by what suggests Manager Update and apply all the patches.

• Dell Openmanage 6.1 reports SCSI errors in the console, what do mean?

  We have installed 2 new Dell servers with VMWare ESX 4 and also installed Dell Openmanage 6.1. So far so good, dell openmanage seems to work very well, we get not errors in starting services. But we get strange message (see screenshot) every two seconds the kernel in the console, including reffer a sort of sici device. Does anyone know what this message is about and how get rid of?

  Thank you.

  

  Looks like you are having the same problem I had with of my new race ESX 4 and Openmanage 6.1 R710. I found myself by opening a ticket with Dell and they came back and said that there was a problem with the inventory collector. Specifically, I think it has something to do with the FCAC as I recall the conversation.

  They do the following and it solved the problem. Oh and put the host in just in case maintenance mode.

  CD/opt/dell/srvadmin/cm/invcol

  MV invcol invcol.bak

  srvadmin - services.sh reboot

  At the time, Dell had a tentative date of update OpenManage to solve the problem.

• ESX 4 and IPMI / Dell OpenManage Server Administrator

  Does anyone else use the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator software on their ESX host?

  I do a cleaning/new ESX 4 installation on a Dell PowerEdge R900 server.  I installed the OMSA without error, but when you try to start the service, you get a "driver ipmi departure: "message. "  The web interface is running, but he tells no hardware information.

  She acts as IPMI is not installed at all, but shows an RPM query:

  VMware-ESX-drivers-IPMI-IPMI-msghandler-400.39.1vmw-1.0.4.164009
  VMware-ESX-drivers-IPMI-IPMI-si-DRV-400.39.1vmw-1.0.4.164009
  VMware-ESX-drivers-IPMI-IPMI-devintf-400.39.1vmw-1.0.4.164009

  srvadmin-ipmi - 5.5.0 - 364.DUP (appears after you run the install OMSA)

  I tried to install using the srvadmin script OpenIPMI - openipmi.sh and get:

  Status: OpenIPMI driver Module is not loaded in the kernel.
  Recommended action: If OpenIPMI modules are available on the system.
  Run "modprobe' command to add the kernel modules.

  I looked in ' / lib/modules/2.6.18-128.ESX/kernel/drivers/ ' for a modprobe IPMI driver, but can't find.

  ANBODY have any ideas on where to go from here?

  We have confirmed with Dell a few months previously, 6.0.3 required for ESX 4 classic, due out within 30 days of the release of GA of ESX 4 classic.  So I'd wait for 6.0.3 unless it is already available.  Dell said that they expected to be interrupted as soon as GA.

• Installation of Dell OpenManage on ESX 3.5 update 3

  According to this article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003459

  There's a patch to install before installing Dell OpenManage.  The document refers to ESX 3.5, and 3.5 update 3.  So I wonder if I still need to apply this patch before installing Dell OpenManage.  We will install OpenManage 5.5 on a PowerEdge 2950 III Server v.

  Thank you

  -John

  You don't need this patch if you use update 3. (You should not this patch if you use the update 1 or later). VMware in general roles until all of the fixes in the next update.

  You can also view this document, calling the patch only for 3.5. http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/software/eslvmwre/Systems_Mngmnt/ESX_OM/HTML/OM.htm (table 2-1)

• Data store missing after the reconstruction of the raid array

  One of the players in my raid array has failed a few days ago.

  I had a spare drive in the table so the controller immediately began the process of rebuilding and all servers were running throughout.

  When the reconstruction has been completed (I checked this via the user interface of raid array and the newspaper), I had to stop the server to remove disc defective (not replaceable chassis hot) and when I restarted the server, the data on the raid array store isn't there anymore.  I also checked through the raid controller interface that I removed the (defective) drive and that the table was always in a ready state when he came.

  In vsphere client, when I click on the storage... Add link, the server sees the material but if I click then it tells me that it will be re - format the volume.  See attachment.  I have most certainly does not take the next step and reformat.  Simply, I took the screenshot and regularized.

  I found these instructions, but they are for an older version of ESXi and am unsure if they are correct for ESXi 6.0.0 338124

  VMware KB: Lack of data store after the reconstruction of the RAID disk/LUN

  Here are the steps I should follow?

  If these aren't the right instructions can you tell me the version which is for ESXi 6.0.0 338124 that I couldn't find anything either.

  Thank you

  Hi ThompsG,

  Yes, there are two data stores for the virtual machine located on the RAID array.  The virtual machine itself was stored in a different data store that was not in the raid array.

  I spent about 48 hours last week, including this morning, trying to coax ESXi recognizing volumes, with no luck.  Finally, I gave up and I removed the virtual computer hard drives that were on the corrupt data store.  Then the virtual machine came without problem.

  Finally, since I have everything on these 2 volumes backed up to a cloud provider, I have recreated the two data stores in the raid array and began the restoration process. It is currently running and has about 16 days left to go.

• Impossible to obtain the privileges on Dell OpenManage

  Hello

  I installed OpenManage 7.4.0 on a new server EP R320 running Ubuntu 14.04.  I installed the same way I've always done successfully, but now I can't get the "Administrator" privileges  When I login with user and password of my system, I get only the 'User' access level (I got "Power User" once (!)).
