installing OMIMSSC on wmware

Hello @Gruvz,

I would like to understand a little bit more where is the roadblock for you.

I want to share with you 2 resources for the Installation and Configuration of OMIMSSC. Please, could you point me in both resources where are you not able to continue?

First, this video Setting up OMIMSSC appliance and SCOM Console Enrollment with the appliance In this video after minute 3:12 they show how to download the OMIMSSC Configuration Management Pack and then in 3:35 how to import the management packs. Is this when you mentioned the installation of additional management packs?  In minute 5:05 they show all installed management packs.

Next resource is the installation guide here:  OpenManage Integration Version 7.0 for Microsoft System Center Installation Guide. Do you see where you are before or after the Enrolling console step?

Regards.

Hi,

The Dell EMC OMIMSSC v7.1 appliance integration for MS SCOM can be deployed on Hyper-V using the .vhd file. Currently, deployment of the appliance on VMware ESXi host is not supported.

Hi Matsch-Hasi,

OMIMSSC for SCOM would be supported on VMware ESXi host in the upcoming release.

The team is working on the OMIMSSC for SCOM appliance support on VMW ESXi.
We do not have a date yet and are looking to release in the next few months.

You could get in touch with your sales team if you are looking for an early Eval.

Hello,

Would OMIVV suit your needs? It may be that I'm not fully understanding your needs. but you might check it out.

Thanks Dylan, yes we already use OMIVV but this is really focused on ESXi managed DELL hardware, not Windows. 

We have a large fleet of Windows Server instances running on bare metal. We typically create manual task sequences in SCCM to deploy these but would rather leverage the OMIMSSC to simplify this process.

I'm sure we could probably get the appliance running on vSphere with some fiddling but would prefer if DELL provides the appliance in an OVA format for better support.

Cheers,

Ben

Hi @benloveday @Charlez79 @Gruvz et al

The Dell EMC OpenManage Integration Version 7.2 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager has been released and available from July that has options of the appliance - OVA, VHD supporting ESXi and Hyper-V 
For convenience here is the direct download link that should be of help to get started

Hi guys,

Any update on a release that is supported on ESXi?

We are 100% a VMware shop but still deploy and manage many physical Windows servers, so System Center integration is is really needed. We do not want to have to run a single Hyper-V host just for this one appliance.

Cheers,

Ben

Hi @benloveday Welcome

Please note that this ESXi OVA of the OMIMSSC Appliance at this time is offered only for Operations Manager (SCOM) as we understand that customers like you are baselining SCOM as the monitoring console of choice and we added OVA support.

Thanks for pasting the link that tells me that you use SCCM (SCVMM) for which we have the OMIMSSC Appliance (distinct) - OMIMSSC v7.2.1 (A01) for SCCM & SCVMM. As these consoles provides the Life Cycle Management, we believe that you have some form of Hyper-V as well so currently this distinct appliance is offered only on VHD (Hyper-V) format only, so you cannot use this appliance for SCCM

I would be happy to discuss further if you could work with your sales account team to schedule.

Best,
Vish

Hi Vish,

Awesome, thanks very much. I was looking at the latest minor release and it didn't appear to have an OVA option so I assumed it was still not available. 

<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

Can I just apply this latest patch to the 7.2 OVA?

Thanks again,

Ben

Hi Vish,

Ah ok. So we do not use SCOM, and we do not use SCVMM. SCVMM is used for managing Hyper-V at scale.

As I mentioned before we do not use Hyper-V, but we extensively use SCCM for OS deployment and patch management for physical Windows servers.

I'll have a chat to our local DELL team on what options we have.

Cheers,

Ben
