How to Deploy OpenManage Enterprise on VMware

This video will demonstrate the how to deploy OpenManage Enterprise on a VMware host.

Hello, I am a domain engineer in the Systems Management space here at Dell, and today we’ll be covering the default deployment of OpenManage Enterprise on VMware. You’ll need to first download and extract the OVF from our support site.

In vCenter, we will deploy the template from the extracted contents of our download. I have already downloaded the file and extracted it. Let’s get started. We will select ‘Create/Register a Virtual Machine,’ 'Deploy the machine from an OVF', and Next'. We’ll give it a unique name, most commonly ‘Dell OME.’

We’ll select these files from our extracted contents and follow the wizard. Leave the default settings, thin provisioned and select ‘Finish.’ Okay, once completed on the 'Recent Tasks' menu, you’re now ready to power on the virtual machines.

So, we’ll go to ‘Virtual Machines,’ select the virtual machine, and 'Power On'. Alright, that completes the installation of our default install of OpenManage Enterprise, and you’re now ready to configure your OpenManage Enterprise appliance. Thanks for watching, and have a great day.
