Configure Connection Profile

Installed the vCenter plugin today. Created a connecction profile for our ESX host servers, supplied both the iDRAC and OMSA username and passwords. Click the 'test connection' button, the test fails for both. Under iDRAC, it says OMSA commands failed to run, under OMSA Agent, get fail - OMSA is not installed for host xxx. I can login to both the iDRAC and OMSA (version 6.4) on these hosts without any problem...what can I fo to fix this? There does not seem to be a way to specify and IP:port combo to connect to for each service, so how does the vCenter plugin know how to connect?

The reason you see that error message about “OMSA is not installed” could be due to that when you installed the OMSA, you didn't install it with -c option which installs the "Remote Enablement" component of OMSA. And our appliance talks to OMSA thought its remote enablement layer. Without successfully connect to OMSA, the iDrac connection will fail too as we correlate the correct iDrac IP with the server by getting the iDrac IP from OMSA first. Please reinstall the OMSA with –c option and that should solve your issue. Once you pass the connection test from the connection profile, please make sure to run inventory from the Job Queue by clicking the “Run Now”.

I'm having the same issue but I get a Fail - Unexpected end of file from server on the OMSA Agent.

I second Angela's comment. I had the same problem. Reinstall the dell omsa agent with -x -c options.
