The documentation states that firmware updates on Gen11 servers are supported.
I have inventoried my Gen11 R710s and their hardware information appears in the Summary screen in the web client. However when I attempt to run a firmware update the Dell repository cannot find a bundle for them.
Hi All
I've just installed Integration for VC - imported the OVF, installed the VIB package etc.
Hosts credentials for both iDRAC and ESX are succesful.
YES, I can see the plugin icon in the WEB client but NOT on the C# client.
I just installed a new VC farm. on the old one I used to see the icon on the client and also i used to have the DELL tab when the ESX host is selected. this provided me the ability to access the hardware and manage the RAID and other stuff.
can someone please advice on this
thanks
Hi,
I've upgraded my omivv 3.1 installation to the new 4.0 branch.
After the upgrade completed i am able to access omivv only through the webclient, as expected.
Now when i go to VCWebclient > Home > Open Manage Integration > Version Information
It still shows "3.1.1.150", i would have expected something line 4.x here.
Is this expected behavior? Or am i missing something?
I did *not* unregister/reregister omivv to the vcenter server as the the manual suggested not to do this.
Thanks,
Peter
What is the compatible version of OMSA for Nano server ?

After the last update from Microsoft, now my laptop does not start when "Restart" is entered - or - when a hard boot is entered. It does nothing - just a blank black screen. I don't know what to do......
I deployed the 4.0.1 VM to my 6.5 vSphere install after first deleting the old 3.0 install I had.
It booted once, and I was able to get the network configured after changing the admin password. Now when I boot it I never get all the way up to the web server running. It hangs after "Starting tomcatSpectre" which says [ OK ] but then never finishes the boot and never gives me the admin login screen
Any suggestions for what to do to get it to come all the way up?
In the Openmanage administration console following is displayed
Current virtual appliance version 3.1.1.150
Available virtual appliance version 4.0.1.1503
When i click on update virtual appliance i get the message "now new version available"
Is there a way to update the current version without having to do a complete new install?
I try to register a 2nd vCenter in OMIVV (latest version 4.0.1), but it fails with error:
"An unknown Exception occured and was logged in the extended protocols."
In the other registered vCenter, I only see this lines logged:
ERROR,7/18/2017 12:49:58 PM (GMT+2),An unknown exception has occurred and has been logged in the extended logs.
INFO,7/18/2017 12:49:56 PM (GMT+2),License granted to vCenter <other-vcenter>: License remaining 8 .
Also tried with the IP address, same error.
How can I access the extended logs?
Hi,
Is it possible to use proactive HA without buying a license for open manage?
Maybe just installing the open manage vib will do the trick??
Thanks!
openmanage appliance (4.0.1.1503) is pointing to "http://ftp.dell.com/catalog/catalog.xml.gz" and failing
it should be pointing to "http://ftp.dell.com/catalog/Catalog.xml.gz"
there is no way I can find to edit the string value
I am running OMIVV 4.0 and am looking to upgrade to 4.1. The installation guide discusses migrating from 3.x to 4.1 by doing a backup/redeploy/restore - which I already did when going to 4.0 in the first place. But the in-appliance update check shows there is no newer version available.
Has the online repository just not been updated yet (and if not, what is ETA)? Please don't tell me 4.0 to 4.1 is another redeployment?
Hi All,
I have managed to get everything running as expected - however, when I try to do a bare metal deployment, I get prompted for the NIC to use for management activities.
I can only select from the 4x on-board 1GbE NICs, the 10GbE Intel X520 add-in card does not show up as an option - however, this is where all management VLANs live.
The X520 shows up in the server inventory as expected and my other ESXi hosts are all using this card for network connectivity - is there some filtering applied to NICs that OMIVV presents for selection?
Thanks,
Myles
I've installed v4.1 as recommended for upgrade from 3.1 (new install and restore from backup).
vCenter lets the plugin install and lets me configure my four hosts.
But, when the host tries to access the OMIVV i get this...
Then I see this...
NTP is right, DNS is right.
Any suggestions?
We are running OMI v4.1 but our institution is going to force us to shut it because it has so many SSL security vulnerabilities on Nexpose scans (critical and severe).
1. Are there any clear whitepapers on installing SSL certificates obtained from Certificate Authorities.
2. How can we limit the ciphers to those accepted by Nexpose and other scanning software.
3. Can we firewall the ports so they are not globally accessible.
4. We need to turn off port 80 (or at least limit it to a few internal segments). Nexpose highlights this as a critical vulnerability.
Thank you.

Appliance 4.1.0.1599
vCenter 6.5.0.100000
Has anyone seen this?
vCenter appears to be registered normaly.
But in the web-interface, I get the following error constantly:
And the appliance is not listed in the appliance management section.
I have tried:
- Re-register vCenter
- Reboot OMIVV
- Reboot vCenter
I have doublechecked NTP and DNS and all seems ok there.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Hi,
Our environment uses several vcenters in linked mode, all vcenters belong to the same SSO site.
Because of compliancy each vcenter uses it's own omivv instance.
So our setup looks something like this:
vc01 <- omivv01
|
vc02 <- omivv02
|
vc03 <- omivv03
Now we have problems accessing omivv through the vcenter flash client.
We do see the plugin icon but upon clicking it we see the following error in the vsphere-web-client-log:
[2017-11-21T16:35:05.589+01:00] [INFO ] http-bio-9090-exec-25 org.springframework.flex.servlet.MessageBrokerHandlerAdapter Channel endpoint amf received request.
[2017-11-21T16:36:04.525+01:00] [INFO ] http-bio-9090-exec-24 70002639 100991 200101 com.dell.pg.spectre.business.ConsoleSDKServiceImpl Exception at ConsoleSDKServiceImpl: URL=omivv01.site.nl/.../ConsoleSDK
[2017-11-21T16:36:04.526+01:00] [INFO ] http-bio-9090-exec-24 70002639 100991 200101 com.dell.pg.spectre.business.ConsoleSDKServiceImpl Exception at ConsoleSDKServiceImpl: 2 counts of InaccessibleWSDLException.
The strange thing is that this error log is taken from vc03, so i would have expected the error to include the hostname from omivv03
But instead it lists omivv01, which is linked to vc01, not vc03.
So i get why omivv01 is throwing an error, i just can't explain why my vc03 is using the url of vc01.
Obviously i tried deleting/reregistering the appliance, rebooting, etc etc.
Anyone got any tips?
Regards,
Peter
Activating the Proactive HA provider supplied by OMIVV (4.1) on the VMware vCenter Appliance (6.5.0.12000) results in the vCenter services being unable to start on subsequent reboots of the VCSA. Tested with a brand new deployment of both VCSA and the OMIVV appliances. Anyone else see this behavior?
I have to replace the motherboard in the R710 server and the question I have is:
What type of drive is the C: drive? Can it be unplugged and re-plugged to the new motherboard with the OS in place?
