iDRAC 7, Dell R730XD, Asset #
We just updated OMIVV to 3.0 release.
We are having problems with 3 hosts in our infrastructure - all M610's running ESXi 5.5 U2 P55. All hosts report strangely in OMIVV.
- "Unsupported Hypervisor" is reported in the "Check hosts for compliance" screen.
- We can update firmware on individual hosts, but updating multiple hosts at the cluster level does not work at all. The firmware inventory page displays nothing.
All other features seem to work fine on these hosts and all of our M620's are not acting in the same way in OMIVV. All firmware is quite up-to-date already on all hosts.
New vCenter 5.5 (build 2646482) latest from VMware website.
vSphere client 5.5 (of course)
Shiny new V3.0 of OMIVV
Install appliance and registered in vCenter without error.
Seems to work in the VMware web client (I'm still exploring). I can add servers iDRACs manually.
From the Win32 fat client, I don't get the wizard but I do get an empty bar in the middle of the screen with "Error #2048" down the bottom.
My client is Win7 x64 with IE10 as the default browser.
Where do I begin ???
Cheers

First question- Which version of OMSA do I need for a first time installation?
I tried every single version same errors for every version. It just wouldn't install. I have tried in various ways as follows-
1. ESX Host by puttying on to it. Error I get-
No bulletins for this platform could be found. Nothing to do.
Errno - 13
Description - No matching bulletin or VIB was found in the metadata.
error at the root-
Url - ./OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-7.0.0-4614.VIB-ESX41i_A00.zip
Localfile - /var/cache/esxupdate/bundle8459924186783898588.zip
Message - [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root
/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-7.0.0-4614.VIB-ESX41i_A00.zip'
Errno - 26
Description - Failed to download offline bundle .zip.
Also dropped the zip bundle at \var\cache\esxupdate, root.
VCLI 4.1 -Error I get- No bulletins for this platform could be found. Nothing to do.
Vsphere update manager- Shows as installed and the host compliant but the ESX host doesn't show it in the installed programs.
So superficially it looks like a OMSA version mismatch but its really not. I have now spent hours in finding the correct version and installing it. right from 6.0.0 to 7.0.0 and everything in between. exact same error for EACH version and iteration I tried. I haven't tried another server since this is the only host I can test on. need to get it working on this first.
Dell has done a good job of not publishing (or quickly taking down) any relevant information of which exact version is required and which version is the actual software and not just a patch.
Now I am out of ideas about what I am really missing.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
PS- WHY are we still using ESXi 4.1 and and old dell R905? The question is above my pay grade... :) I inherited it and thats what we have in the environment. And I have been asked to install OMSA's latest version. The company doesnt want to pay for out of warranty Dell Tech Support.
We recently installed vCenter 6.0 in our lab. I downloaded the OMIVV OVF and deployed a brand new instance of the appliance. (I experimented with 2.3.0 in the past, but never got it working, so just threw all that out.) The connection to the vCenter went without a hitch, but the web client is showing an "Error 2000000" dialog whenever I click through the interface. When I used the first-time configuration wizard, I was able to enter all the passwords, but the list of hosts was empty, even though this vCenter has 8 attached. Without being able to select a host, I wasn't allowed to proceed through the wizard.
It seems like this error has been reported in prior versions, but it's slightly different in OMIVV 3.0, so I thought I should start a new thread. It says:
An unknown exception has occurred and has been logged in the extended logs.
Severity: CRITICAL
Error: 2000000
Date and time: <now>
Details:
An unknown exception has occurred and has been logged in the extended logs. If the issue continues, please restart your appliance. If this does not resolve the issue, please contact Dell Support.
Things I've tried:
- Enable and disable the web proxy settings (no change in behavior)
- Disconnected and reconnected the vCenter in the administrative interface several times
- Made sure the vCenter and OMIVV appliance are on the same network, with no firewalls between
- Re-registered the vCenter using the official FQDN, such that name -> numeric -> name results in the same name being returned
I downloaded the support bundle and looked through the logs, but didn't see anything obvious. I'd be happy to start over and upload a clean log file or files if that would help.
Any hints on where to go from here?

Hi All,
Vcenter 5.5
Target is an R530 with Dual SD card.
Reference server is R530 for the Hardware profile
Hypervisor profile is ESXi 5.5u2 (Dell ISO) which is on a share on the vcenter server. Credentials checked. Account has permissions to the share.
Builds the RAID (although only RAID 1 even though custom was selected from a RAID 6 setup)
Sets the BIOS configuration
Sets the boot order
Fails the ISO.
Lifecycle log shows successful login as root using WS-MAN on the target. I also see deployment ISO service entries.
OMIVV and Vcenter are off-site but we have a 20mb link.
Where should I look ?
Cheers
Ian
OMIVV 3.0
I have deployment credentials setup.
I have Connection Profile setup with credentials setup.
This was working fine and then I created another hardware profile.
How can I find more info on what is happening ?
Cheers

Hi,
We are trying to use OMIVV on a new deployment of Dell R630 servers with dual SD card deploying ESXi 6.
After deployment is run the server restarts but does not boot the ISO, iDRAC IP is in a different network to OMIVV but there is no restriction on communications between the iDRAC network and the OMIVV box.
Looking at the firewall no attempt is made to connect to the file share from iDRAC network, but there is a small amount of comms to the OMIVV box.
No traffic is being blocked.
This just doesnt seem to function properly at all and the information on why a failure occurred is non existent!
Is anyone else seeing these issues?
Thanks
Used OMIVV 3.0 to deploy a M620 host - worked fine and host was added to vCenter - now when running inventory against this host, I get the error "Inventory Failed" in vCenter - The Conenction Profile test passes for both iDRAC and host creds
Any suggestions?
Does OMIVV work with Host Profiles in vCenter? If so, how i.e. I know I can define a host profile in the Hypervisor Profile but will it get applied to a deployed ESXi host?
Just wanted to see if anyone had problems with using complex passwords when you place the repository file on a network share?
I have seen errors like the following update a host using that file location as the repository the error states: “ The firmware repository file does not exist or is invalid. : Configure the firmware update repository and make sure there is a valid catalog file present. Once configured, allow 10 minutes for the firmware bundles to be downloaded.
Apologies if this has been addressed but I tried to upgrade my vsphere console to v. 6.5 and was warned that my install of openmanage vcenter integration was out of date. I have 3.1.0.134 installed. I did see an available hotfix but it didn't seem to apply to my issue.
Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone
have installed the OpenManage Integration appliance successfully and am able to create a connection profile for one of my ESXi hosts. When I try to add additional hosts it fails on validating the iDrac and Host credentials.
I am able to log into the iDrac on the affected hosts via the web browser and the hyper-visor using the same credentials and one of the other hosts is on the same subnet as the one that is working so I'm not sure why I'm getting this error. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Our internal security team is reporting some security findings for our OMIVV appliance (3.1.1.150).
1. The following NFS shares could be mounted:
/nfsstage
2. The following shares have no access restrictions:
/nfsstage
Is it possible to restrict access and/or have the OMIVV appliance only present the /nfsstage share when it is needed?
Hello....we have 2 VRTX Servers on site...they appear to be working properly.
However...to access vSphere Client which gives me access to look at the Virtual Machines we remote in from my desktop computer (192.168... address) to our Remote Access Server (192.168... address) then remote from there to our IT ADMIN VM (10.0.5.... address) which allows me to open vSphere Client and see our VMs.
The problem is although I can ping our Remote Access Server VM it won't allow me to login....I suspect it needs a re-boot but I cannot get to it.
QUESTION....is there a way I can directly access our VRTX Server(s)?
Thanks....Thomas....City of Medicine Hat Power Plant

Hi,
I'd like to post a feature request for omivv4
We would like to see the possibility to open the host's kvm-console from idrac through the vsphere webclient (as a popup?). Authentication based on an additional privilege trough vcenter roles.
No idea where and how to submit this so i thought i'll try here.
Thanks,
Peter
We discovered our current license 'expired' and we are unable to upgrade to the new v4.
Our Dell Account Manager is unable to find a renewal option for OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter.
And want to sell us 5 times the following option (we currently have a 25 Server, Dell Management Plug-in for Vmware vCenter v1.5, 3Yr)
OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter - single instance - 5 host increment, 3 year license
Is our accountmanager missing something ?
When I try to build a repository in Repository Manager by connecting to the OMIVV appliance I get the following error after supplying the OMIVV appliance FQDN, vCenter FQDN and vCenter credentials:
