Add OEM hosts

Along with Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, OMIVV also supports rebranded and debranded servers. For more information about OEM, see https://www.dellemc.com.

If the WBEM service is already enabled, OMIVV determines the iDRAC connectivity of the host. If the connection is available, OMIVV adds the host to the managed list. If OMIVV is unable to determine, you must manually select the host on the Add OEM Hosts wizard so that the host is added to the OMIVV-managed list.

If the WBEM service is disabled or iDRAC is not reachable, use Add OEM Hosts wizard so that the host is added to the OMIVV-managed list.

  1. On the OMIVV home page, click Compliance & Deployment > Compliance > Management Compliance > Add OEM Hosts.
  2. In the Add OEM Hosts window, from the vCenter Instance drop-down list, select an instance of vCenter.
  3. From the Host Credential Profile drop-down list, select an appropriate host credential profile.
  4. To add or remove the associated host, click ADD HOST.
    The Select Hosts window is displayed.
  5. In the Select Hosts window, select the hosts and click YES.
    NOTE: Only the hosts that are not managed by OMIVV are displayed in the Select Hosts window.
    OMIVV tests the connection automatically, and test connection results are displayed in the Add OEM Hosts window.

    The iDRAC Test and Host Test columns displays the test connection result for iDRAC Credentials and Host Credentials.

    To stop all the test connections, click ABORT TEST.

  6. Click OK.
    The selected hosts are added to the selected host credential profile and inventory is triggered.
