OMEnterprise - No Virtual Machine to Import?
Hi,
I just downloaded the VHD version of OMEnterprise. I went into Hyper-V to import that VM but there doesn't seem to be an actual VM in there. I downloaded the file called openmanage_enterprise_vhd_format_3.2.zip. I only see 4 files in the .zip file:
- kiwi.result
- openmanage_enterprise.x86_64-0.0.1.packages
- openmanage_enterprise.x86_64-0.0.1.verified
- openmanage_enterprise.x86_64-0.0.1.vhd
When I follow the instructions and go to Import Virtual Machine, I get an error that says Hyper-V didn't find a VM to import. I'm using Hyper-V 2016 which the documentation says should be able to import.
Is there something else I need to do to make this work?

Hello
The instructions for Hyper-V appear to be incorrect for the files provided. The files provided do not appear to include virtual machine information. It looks like it is just a VHD. I was able to install it using these steps.
You should then be able to start the virtual machine and proceed with setup and configuration.
Thanks

Yeah. Those are the manual steps that you're supposed to have to do if you're using 2012 or older. The instructions say that you should be able to just import Fusion 2016 but I agree that it doesn't seem like the file contains the right compressed files. Hopefully someone from Dell can fix this.

I'm waiting to hear back on how we plan to address this issue. When I find out I'll post the plan of action here. We are either going to update the installation instructions to match the process for the file provided or provide the correct files for the instructions provided. I can't think of a third option.
It will probably be late next week, at the earliest, that I will have an update.

The installation instructions will be changed to reflect the need to create a new virtual machine. The user guide was changed previously, but the download page and an installation document on the OMEnt support page was not updated to remove the import method.

It would appear that the instructions have not been updated as of 11/08/2019, at least where I was directed to download OMEnt: https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/rc1373651/sln310714/support-for-openmanage-enterprise?lang=en
Thank you for your post explaining the issue.
