• 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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)

• PowerEdge T310 - install second disc as raid1 with dell server administration software?

  Hi all

  Quick question - we have a PowerEdge T310 with a disk in it. We want to install a second drive and put them in raid1. Issues related to the:

  1. Can we use software from dell server administrator to do?
  2. This will delete the volume on the current drive.

  In a perfect scenario, we want to just install the second disk, set up in raid 1 and call it a day.

  Thanks for the tips!

  1. Yes.

  2. function:

  If your drive is existing in a single drive RAID 0, so it CAN be converted on the fly to a 2 drive RAID 1.

  If your existing drive is a volume not RAID, she cannot be converted on the fly without loss of data.

  The SAS 6/iR and series S PERC H200 supported RAID and non RAID, so the chances of a disk being a RAID 0 array is extremely low.

  PERC 6 / i and H700 do not support no RAID, for a single disc can only be a RAID 0, so convert to RAID 1 is fine.

• By default the administrator username and password for the Weblogic Server administration Console

  I have created a new domain Wizard configuration under windows (with config.cmd).
  When you set up the field, I don't check boxes to configure the server administration, server management, cluster...
  Just give the domain name and the location of the home field and clicked on create the domain.
  So automatically AdminServer is created and domain was created successfully.
  Once the domain is created, I started with the administrator of the server with the same configuration Wizard and clicked on fact.
  
  Now, the administrator of the server is started successfully. But I don't know the username Admin and the password I didn't configure it when creating the domain.
  
  So how to connect to the administration Console? What will be the default username Admin and password for you connect to the Management Console?

  The Assistant of the STANDARD Config does not have a default password, you must set when you create the domain. It is one of the steps in the config wizard...

• Open Manage Server Administrator does not not on almost all servers

  We have about 15 PowerEdge servers and all but 2 or 3 get errors trying to use OM server administrator.  A few months ago, they have all worked very well.  You know not so updated Windows caused it or what.

  They get the "Cannot display this page" error when you open the server administrator.

  I can't find any rhyme or reason as to why this is happening.  Sometimes a R730, R720s and R710s, as well as some older R515s.  I tried different versions of Openmanage, set updated to 8.3 and it did not help.   It also occurs on servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 and R2 2012.

  An our R720 is identical to another and one works, the other not.  They are identical hardware (bought at the same time), same OS, same firmware, same function as Hyper-V servers.  Why a job and the other Gets the error?  No idea.

  Clues?   Thank you.

  We added it to trusted sites, Yes.

  As I say, it works fine for a long time (years, in the case of some servers) and now all of a sudden stopped.

  I loaded Chrome on one of the servers and it actually works.  I guess it's a question of IE.   Always very strange that it works in Internet Explorer on a few servers, but not on most of the others.

• Dell OpenManage, ESXi 5.1 &amp; reconstruction of bays RAID online

  I am owner of a Dell PowerEdge T420 with ESXi 5.1 installed and I was wondering if it is possible to rebuild a RAID array without having to restart the server.

  I was under the assumption that the use of Dell OpenManage running on Windows Server together with the Dell OMSA VIB would allow management of virtual disks when the system is online.

  I am able to see the State of health of the RAID via OpenManage arrays, but can't seem to perform management of tables.

  I was mistaken in that assumption?

  Jmartincic,

  You can simply reinstall the failed drive to start a regeneration. In the OMSA with ESXi graphical user interface, it's only a tool of surveillance. You cannot trigger something from him, although only with regard to the controller.
