    To manage the Dell EMC servers in your vSphere environment, OMIVV requires access to both the vSphere network (vCenter and ESXi management network) and out-of-band network (iDRAC, CMC, and Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Modular (OME-Modular).

    If vSphere network and out-of-band network are maintained as separate isolated network in your environment, OMIVV requires access for both the networks. In this case, OMIVV appliance must be configured with two network adapters. If you can access out-of-band network using the vSphere network, then, do not configure a network adapter for the OMIVV appliance. For more information about configuring two network adapters, see Configure OMIVV appliance with two network adapters.

    • Out-of-band network—The management network to which an iDRAC, CMC, and OME-Modular are connected to.
    • vSphere network—The management network to which ESXi hosts, vCenters, and PSCs are connected to.
12. In the Ready to Complete window, review the selected options for the OVF deployment task and click Finish.
    The deployment job runs and displays the completion status where you can track the job completion status.

    NOTE After you deploy an OVF, you must mandatorily set the current date and time before registering to OMIVV.
