No, this won't work (I mean, you should be able to log into it using a local admin in the OS in which it is running (including domain admins), but it won't have access to hardware). You'll need the OpenManage VIB installed in ESXi to manage the hardware.
So I have installed the OpenManage VIB onto the ESXI host and rebooted it but still can't login to the OMSA from a VM on the host. It just times out each attempt.
The error was something along the lines of 'Login timed out' found out I was using a different version of the OMSA because of the OS I was running it on (Windows Server 2008 R2) needed to install on a 2012 server to get the 9.4.0 version which is what was installed on the ESXI host. After doing this I was able to login.

Any ideas?
