OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Version 5.2 Installation Guide

• From OMIVV 5.0 onwards, only VMware vSphere Client (HTML5) is supported and the vSphere Web Client (Flex) is not supported.
• To use the DNS server, the recommended practices are:
  • OMIVV supports only IPv4 IP addresses. Although both static IP assignment and DHCP assignment are supported, it is recommended that you assign a static IP address. Assign a static IP address and hostname when you deploy an OMIVV appliance with a valid DNS registration. A static IP address ensures that during the system restart, the IP address of the OMIVV appliance remains same.
  • Ensure that OMIVV hostname entries are present in both forward and reverse lookup zones in your DNS server.
• For the OMIVV appliance mode, ensure that you deploy OMIVV in the appropriate mode based on your virtualization environment. For more information, see Configure deployment mode.
• Configure your network to match the port requirements. For more information, see Port information.
