There are two parts to the OMSA installation on an ESXi host:

• A vSphere Installation Bundle (VIB) that is installed on the host
• A Managed Node that is installed on a Windows system, to access the information from the VIB on the ESXi host A reboot will be required to complete the installation of the VIB on the ESXi host.
  

To install OMSA VIB on ESXi 5.0 or 6.0, perform the following steps:

1. Download latest version of OMSA from the System Management section on the Dell Downloads Site. Please enter your service Tag or select your model, and then access the Drivers and Download section.
2. Verify there is no version of OMSA currently running on VMware host (Figure 1 (English-only)).
   
   esxcli software vib list |grep OpenManage
