OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Version 4.2 Web Client User's Guide

Reporting and fixing compliance for bare-metal servers

Prerequisites

A bare-metal server is noncompliant when:
  • It is not a supported server.
  • It does not have a supported iDRAC license (iDRAC Express is the minimum requirement).
  • It does not have supported versions of iDRAC, BIOS, or LC.
  • LOM or rNDC is not present.
  • System Lockdown Mode is turned on.

About this task

To view and fix the list of noncompliant bare-metal servers:

Steps

  1. In OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, select the Manage > Deployment tab.
    1. In the Bare Metal Servers page, view the list of noncompliant servers.
      A table is displayed that lists the noncompliant servers along with the Service Tag, model, iDRAC IP, server status, System Lockdown Mode, compliance status, and the iDRAC license status.
    2. To view further details of a server, select a noncompliant server.
    3. To export the noncomplaint information of a server to a .CSV file, in the right-hand corner of the table, click Export All.
    4. To filter the content of the data grid, click the Filter field.
    5. To swap the columns within the table, drag and drop columns within the data grid.
  2. To fix noncomplaint servers, click Fix non-compliant servers.
    NOTE The Fix non-compliant servers link is only enabled for 11th generation noncompliant servers.
  3. In the Fix bare metal Compliance wizard, click Next in the Welcome page.
  4. In the Fix Compliance page, select the check boxes for the servers you want to fix.
    The noncomplaint servers are listed and the firmware component for which it is noncompliant is displayed. The listed noncompliant servers require updating at least one of the following firmware components:
    • iDRAC IP
      NOTE From OMIVV, you cannot fix bare-metal servers where the iDRAC licenses are noncompliant. Ensure that you upload supported iDRAC license to those servers outside OMIVV, and then click Refresh Baremetal Servers. SeeRefreshing bare-metal servers.
    • BIOS
    • LC
    • System Lockdown Mode
      NOTE To view latest details of the noncomplaint bare-metal servers from the corresponding iDRAC, clickRefresh Bare Metal details. If System Lockdown Mode is turned on, the server is noncomplaint, and conversely.
  5. To view compliance issue details, click Compliance Issues.
    NOTE If a bare-metal server is noncomplaint due to System Lockdown Mode being turned on, ensure that you manually configure the System Lockdown Mode of the server from the iDRAC console.
  6. Click Next.
  7. In the Summary window, review the actions that take place on the firmware components of noncompliant bare-metal servers.
  8. Click Finish.
