Fix a non-compliant host

The host is non-compliant if:

  • The host is not associated to a Host Credential Profile.
  • The Collect System Inventory on Reboot (CSIOR) feature is disabled or has not been run, which requires a manual reboot.
    NOTE: The CSIOR status is not determined when hosts are managed using a chassis.
  • The SNMP trap destination of the host is not configured to the OMIVV appliance IP address. The failure in SNMP trap destination setting might be when iDRAC or host credentials that are provided in host credential a profile is invalid. Or, there are no free slots in iDRAC, or iDRAC Lockdown Mode is turned on—only in iDRAC9-based servers. For the list of iDRAC9-based servers, see the compatibility matrix.
  • OMIVV fails to enable the WBEM service on hosts running ESXi 6.5 and later.
  • The iDRAC firmware version is lower than 2.50.50.50. The iDRAC version 2.50.50.50 or higher is required only to use the system profile feature.
  • iDRAC license is not compatible (iDRAC Express is the minimum requirement). The servers without a compatible iDRAC license cannot be used for monitoring and updating the firmware.
  1. On the OMIVV home page, click Compliance & Deployment > Management Compliance.
  2. Select a non-compliant host, click Fix Compliance.
  3. On the welcome page of the wizard, read the instructions, and then click GET STARTED.
  4. On the Select Hosts page, select one or more non-compliant hosts and click NEXT.
    • If the hosts are not associated to a host credential profile, the following warning message is displayed:

      There are selected hosts that are not assigned to a Host Credential Profile. To allow OMIVV to run a compliance check, you must add these hosts to a Host Credential Profile

      To exclude the hosts that are not assigned to host credential profile, click CONTINUE.

      To add the hosts to a Host Credential Profile page, Click Cancel and go to the host credential profile page. For more information about creating host credential profile, see Create host credential profile.

      The hosts present in an MX chassis with an iDRAC IPv4 disabled have to be managed using chassis credential profile. To associate these hosts to chassis credential profile, you have to add the chassis using Add MX Chassis on the Dell EMC Chassis page and associate the chassis to a chassis credential profile.

    To update iDRAC firmware and BIOS version:
    1. On the Update iDRAC firmware and BIOS version page, select one or more hosts on which you want to update the firmware version.
    2. Click NEXT.
    3. On the Reboot Hosts page, view the ESXi hosts that must be restarted.
    4. If you want to automatically put hosts in maintenance mode and reboot when required, select the check box, and then click NEXT.
    5. On the Summary page, review the summary of actions, and then click FINISH.
    To turn on CSIOR:
    1. On the Select Hosts page, select one or more non-compliant hosts and click NEXT.
    2. On the Turn on CSIOR page, select one or more hosts for which you want to turn on CSIOR, and click NEXT.
    3. On the Summary page, review the summary of actions, and then click FINISH.

    The wizard configures the SNMP trap destination status to Configured after you fix the iDRAC or host credentials by providing valid information in host credential profile, or make any one of the first four slots available in the iDRAC trap destination, or disable System Lockdown Mode in iDRAC.

    NOTE: System Lockdown Mode is applicable only for iDRAC9-based servers.

    If hosts with WBEM non-complaince exist, ensure to manually fix the conditions for those hosts that caused the WBEM service enablement to fail. You can fix the error conditions by viewing them in the user logs. Enable OMIVV to enable the WBEM service for those hosts during inventory.
