Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.0 User's Guide

Deploy OpenManage Enterprise on Hyper-V 2012 R2 and earlier host

1. Extract the openmanage_enterprise_vhd_format.zip file, and then move or copy the enclosed VHD file into the appropriate location on your system where you want to store the OpenManage Enterprise (OME) virtual drive.
2. Start Hyper-V Manager in the Windows Server 2012 R2 and earlier versions. The Windows Hyper-V should be displayed under Hyper-V Manager. If not, right-click Hyper-V Manager, and then select Connect to Server.
3. Click Action > New > Virtual Machine.
4. On the Specify Name and Location page, select the VM name and a storage location appropriately for your environment.
5. Navigate to the Specify Generation page and select Generation 1. OpenManage Enterprise does not support Generation 2.

   NOTE: Ensure that 8192 MB is assigned as the memory. Dynamic memory can be turned on, but for best performance, it is recommended to leave the option 'disabled'.

6. On the Networking Configuration page, ensure that the network adapter is connected to the network. If set to 'Not Connected', OME will not function properly during the first reboot, and requires redeployment if this situation recurs.
7. On the Connect Virtual Hard Disk page, select Use an existing virtual disk drive, and then go to the VHD file you copied in step 1.
8. Complete the on-screen instructions.
9. Open the settings of the newly created VM.
