PowerEdge R710 - need version of Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA)

Question

I have a PowerEdge R710 server, it currently was setup with VMware ESXi 5.5.0, has 5 drives and running MS Server 2012.

I recently bought a new Seagate Cheetah 15k hdd (ST3146356SS) to fill out my bays. I was told that in order for my system to recognize this I need to download Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA).

Any ideas the exact software that is needed for this?

Thanks in advance.

You would need to install the OpenManage Server Administrator VIB to configure it from the OS. You can also do it from the CTRL-R utility during POST for the H700.
