OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Version 4.0 Web Client Installation Guide

Migrating from 3.x to 4.0

1. Take a backup of the database for the older (v3.x) release.
   For more information, see OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User’s Guide available at Dell.com/support/manuals.
2. Power off the older appliance from vCenter.
   NOTE Do not unregister the OMIVV plug-in from vCenter. Unregistering the plug-in from vCenter removes all the alarms registered on vCenter by the OMIVV plug-in and all the customization that is performed on the alarms such as, actions and so on. For more information, see Recovering OMIVV after unregistering the earlier plug-in version if you have unregistered the plug-in after the backup.
3. Deploy the new OpenManage Integration version 4.0 OVF.
   For more information on deploying the OVF, see Deploying the OMIVV OVF by using the vSphere web client.
4. Power on the OpenManage Integration version 4.0 appliance.
5. Set up the network and time zone on the appliance.
   Ensure that the new OpenManage Integration version 4.0 appliance has the same IP address as the old appliance. To set up the network details, see Registering OMIVV and importing the license file.

   NOTE The OMIVV plug-in might not work properly if the IP address for the OMIVV 4.0 appliance is different from the IP address of the older appliance. In such a scenario, unregister and re-register all the vCenter instances.
6. Restore the database to the new OMIVV appliance.
   NOTE If you have enabled Proactive HA on clusters, OMIVV unregisters the Dell Inc provider for those clusters and re-registers the Dell Inc provider after restore. Hence, health updates for the Dell hosts are not available until restore is complete.

   For more information, see Restoring the OMIVV database from a backup in the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User’s Guide available at Dell.com/support/manuals.
7. Upload the new license file.
   For more information, see Registering OMIVV and importing the license file.
8. Verify the appliance.
   For more information, see the Verifying installation to ensure that the database migration is successful.
9. Run the Inventory on all the hosts.
   NOTE

   It is recommended that after the upgrade, you run the inventory again on all the hosts that the plug-in manages. For more information, see the Running inventory jobs in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User’s Guide.

   If the IP address of the new OMIVV version 4.0 appliance is changed from the old appliance, configure the trap destination for the SNMP traps to point to the new appliance. For 12th generation and higher generation servers, the IP change is fixed by running inventory on these hosts. For hosts earlier than 12th generation that were compliant with earlier versions, the IP change is displayed as noncompliant and requires you to configure Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). For more information on fixing the host compliance, see Reporting and fixing compliance for vSphere hosts in OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User’s Guide available at Dell.com/support/manuals.
