Configure the system using the TUI

Use the Text User Interface (TUI) for password changes, status viewing, network configuration, parameter setting, debug request enablement, primary network selection, and automatic server discovery.

When you boot the system for the first time from the TUI, you are prompted to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). Next, change the administrator password and configure network parameters for the appliance and load the web console in a supported browser to get started. Only users with OpenManage Administrator privileges can configure OpenManage Enterprise.

Navigate the TUI using:

The arrow keys or Tab to set focus to different menu options.
Shift + Tab to go back to previous menus.
Enter to select an option.
Space bar to enable or disable a checkbox's status.

NOTE:

To configure IPv6, ensure that it is already configured on a vCenter Server.
By default, the appliance uses the last discovered IP of a device for performing all operations. To make any IP change effective, you must rediscover the device.

You can configure OpenManage Enterprise by using the TUI. The TUI screen has the following options:

Table 1. Text User Interface optionsThis table lists all the Text User Interface options.
Options	Descriptions
Change the Admin Password	Select the Change the Admin Password screen to enter a new password and confirm the password. For the first time, you must change the password by using the TUI screen.
Display Current Appliance Status	Select Display Current Appliance Status to view the URL and the status of the appliance. You can also view statuses of the Task Execution, Event Processing, Tomcat, Database, and Monitoring services. NOTE:The Backup and Restore status is listed with its status.
Display Current Network Configuration	Select Display Current Network Configuration to view the IP configuration details. The Choose Network Adapter menu lists all the available NICs. Click a NIC to display its current settings.
Set Appliance Hostname	Select Set Appliance Hostname to configure the appliance hostname on the DNS. This field supports the following valid characters for host names: Alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) Periods ( . ) Dashes ( - ) NOTE:Using periods designate domain name information. If the appliances DNS information is statically configured instead of obtaining details from DHCP, set the hostname using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to populate domain search information.
Set Networking Parameters	Select Set Networking Parameters to reconfigure the NICs. Choose Network Adapter menu lists all the available NICs. Select a NIC to reconfigure the following parameters: Enable IPv4: Allow the appliance to communicate over IPv4. Enable DHCP: Allow the appliance to connect to the network using DHCP. Use DHCP to Obtain DNS Server Address: Allow the appliance to identify the DNS server over DHCP. Static Preferred DNS server: Set the IP address of the primary DNS server. Static Alternate DNS server: Set the IP address of the secondary DNS server. Enable IPv6: Allow the appliance to communicate over IPv6. Enable Autoconfiguration: Allow the appliance to automatically configure IPv6 interfaces. Use DHCPv6 to Obtain DNS Server Addresses: Allow the appliance to identify the DNS server over DHCP 6. Static Preferred DNS server: Set the IP address of the primary DNS server. Static Alternate DNS server: Set the IP address of the secondary DNS server. Register OME with DNS: Allow the appliance to create an FQDN entry on the DNS server. If you plan to enable RSA on the appliance, ensure that the appliance is registered with the same DNS server as the RSA authentication manager host. Use DHCP for DNS Domain Name: Allow the appliance to receive the domain name from the DNS. DNS name: Set the FQDN of the appliance as registered on the DNS. Domain Name: Set the domain name of the appliance. By default, only IPv4 is enabled on the primary network interface with a private static IP in the appliance. However, if a new network interface is added, both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled for multihoming. If the appliance cannot obtain an IPv6 address, verify if the environment is configured with router advertisements and the managed bit (M) is enabled. Network Manager from current Linux distributions causes a link failure when this bit is on, but DHCP 6 is not available. Ensure that DHCP 6 is enabled on the network or disable the managed flag for router advertisements. NOTE: DNS configuration is only available on the primary network interface. If DNS resolution is wanted on this interface, all host names must be resolvable by the DNS server that is configured on the primary interface. For more information about multihoming, see the Multihoming on OpenManage Enterprise technical white paper on the OpenManage Enterprise support site.
Select Primary Network Interface	Select Primary Network Interface allows you to designate a primary network. Primary interface selection gives priority to the selected interface in terms of routing and is used as the default route. This interface has the routing priority if there is any ambiguity. The primary interface is also expected to be the 'public facing' interface which allows for corporate network or Internet connectivity. Different firewall rules are applied to the primary interface, which allow for tighter access control such as access restriction by IP range. NOTE:If multihoming is enabled, the appliance can be accessed from two networks. In this case, the appliance uses the primary interface for all external communication and when proxy settings are used. For more information about multihoming, see the Multihoming on OpenManage Enterprise technical white paper on the OpenManage Enterprise support site.
Configure Static Routes	Select Configure Static Routes if the networks require a static route to be configured to reach a specific subnet over the IPv4 and IPv6 networks. NOTE:A maximum of 20 static routes per interface is supported.
Configure Server Initiated Discovery	Select Configure Server Initiated Discovery to allow the appliance to automatically register the required records with the configured DNS server. NOTE: Ensure that the appliance is registered with DNS, and can dynamically update records. The target systems must be configured to request registration details from DNS. To change the DNS Domain Name, ensure that Dynamic DNS registration is enabled on the DNS server. Also, for the appliance to be registered on the DNS server, select the Nonsecure and secure option under Dynamic updates.
Configure Appliance Disk Size	Select Configure Appliance Disk Size to scan for the available disk space and allocate additional disk space if required. Only the primary disk size can be increased; any changes to the secondary disk size are not considered. NOTE: It is highly recommended to take a VM snapshot of the console as a backup before applying any disk configuration changes. Post addition of the disk space, deletion, or reduction of the expanded disk space is not supported. To reverse the increase in size of an existing disk, you must revert to a prior VM snapshot. If the initial scan detects no unallocated space, then allocate additional disk space or disks to the console on your hypervisor and rescan.
Enable Field Service Debug (FSD) Mode	Select Enable Field Service Debug (FSD) Mode if directed to by a Dell support representative. For more information, see Field service debug. NOTE:A warning banner is displayed on the Web UI while Field Service Debug mode is active.
Restart Services	Select Restart Services with the following options to restart the services and networking: Restart All Services Restart Networking
Setup Debug Logging	Select Setup Debug Logging using the following options : Enable All Debug Logs To collect the Debug logs of the all the application monitoring tasks, events, the task execution history, and installed plug-ins. NOTE:While the debug log collection is active, a warning banner is on display. Disable All Debug Logs To disable all the Debug logs. NOTE:The warning banner indicating the debug log collection is removed. Configure Debug Logging To selectively enable debug logging for an appliance and plug-in services. Use the Options menu to select all services, clear all selections, or restore state before you make changes. Enable SCP Retention—to collect the template .xml files. NOTE:SCP file retention is not applicable for MX7000 chassis templates. Disable SCP Retention—to disable the SCP retention. You can create a console log archive from the Monitor > Troubleshoot screen by clicking Log > Generate Log. To download the archived console log, click Download Log.
Enable CIFS share for FSD (emergency use only)	Select Enable CIFS share for FSD (emergency use only) if directed to by a Dell support representative. For more information, see Field service debug. NOTE:A warning banner is displayed on the Web UI while Field Service Debug mode is active.
Change keyboard layout	Select Change keyboard layout to change the keyboard layout if needed.
Reboot the Appliance	Select Reboot the Appliance to restart the appliance. NOTE: After running a command to restart the services, the TUI may display the following message: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 36s! [java:14439]. The soft lockup issue likely occurs as a result of the hypervisor being overloaded. In such situations, it is recommended to have at least 16 GB of RAM and a CPU of 8000 MHz reserved to the OpenManage Enterprise appliance. It is also recommended that the OpenManage Enterprise appliance be restarted when this message is displayed.
