So I downloaded the zip file.
Put the system into maintenance.
Attempt to update via vihostupdate.pl, which gives the error:

Unable to decompress the package update.
I checked that the zip files are valid.
I'm patching of a windows 2003 System. I'm under esxi build 175625.
Ideas?
It seems that the cim hp patch has the same question:
Nice to hear that

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.

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.

Installation of Dell OpenManage on ESX 3.5 update 3
According to this article:
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)

Dell OpenManage, ESXi 5.1 &; 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.

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

any directory.4. run the following command:

Problem with OpenManage 6.5 on ESXi host
Hello
We are moving just all ESX ESXi 5 hosts. We have also downloaded and get OpenManage installed on one of them (according to this document http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/65_02/ESXi_ts/esxi5_ts.pdf).
When we try to connect to the host via https://ESXHostname:1311 / we get the error message "Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage".
We did some research and checked some services, and it seems that each of them are running correctly:

sfcbd is running.

Are you connecting directly using the browser, if yes it does not connect.
You must install Dell Management Console on the remote computer where you are trying to access.

OpenManage 8.3.0 ESXi 6.0 bug?
I think that I found a bug.
I create Custom ISOs for ESXi 6.0 so I can include the latest drivers and the VIBs for our storage.
I created a new ISO with ESXi 6.0 Update 2 with the last VIB Dell OpenManage 8.3.0.
(6.0) vCenter Update Manager, I have the Dell repo as a download source: https://vmwaredepot.dell.com/index.xml
I downloaded the OpenManage 8.3.0 VIB from here:
NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >
However, now when I run a scan of the host with Update Manager, it fails and the error in esxupdate.log:
2016 04-28 T 15: 44:03Z esxupdate: esxupdate: ERROR: ValueError: cannot merge VIBs Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_8.3.0.ESXi600 - 0000, 0000 - Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_8.3.0.ESXi600 with the attributes of uneven loads: ([OpenManage: KB 7809,081], [OpenManage: 7807,439 KB])
I see an older version of OpenManage who had this same error and it was a bug.
Things I've done: database reset VUM, which I can then analyze the hosts successfully. Once I added in the repo of Dell, he begins fail again with the error above in the esxupdate.log file.
Anyone else see the same thing?
The last I heard about Dell, they said that they would not solve this problem, but to focus on the next version. I have not seen a 8.4 version, so as a work-around, you need to uninstall OMSA 8.3 of all your machines and then reinstall it from the repo.
Huge PITA so. Another option is to reset your vCenter VUM of the base and do not add in the repo of Dell. Then you will be able to scan your guests without problem again.
Thanks Dell!

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-1.0.4.164009srvadmin-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.

How to install the NIC to host runnign ESXi
I had a HP DL380 ESXi, the server has 2 onboard NETWORK card, a recently whent down. We require that the server has at least 2 NIC
I have a new NIC of Dlink gigabit which has the compatible drivers for Linx, I don't know how to install the hardware so that the ESXi can recognize it and use it
Anny help would be appreciated.
I know not at all compatible with ESXi Dlink network cards. ESXi is not Linux - simply because the Linux drivers are available does not mean that you can use in ESXi. You will need to check the VMware hardware compatibility list to see what supported chipsets, and you will need to know the chipset of this card.
You can also view some websites ESX Whitebox to see if others have reported this card as working with ESXi.

That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:
www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails
The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:
indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.
Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?
I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:
~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014Thank you.
Hello
It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02
megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00
This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.
