Installation process
OMIMSWAC can be installed in one of the following ways:
- By using the NuGet feed
- By using local path or network file share with the downloaded Dell_EMC_OpenManage_Integration_MS_WAC_<Version><Build_Number>zip file from the Dell EMC Support Site. For more information about downloading the .zip file, see the Download Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center section.
NOTE: If you are installing Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Windows Admin Center extension by using the Custom Feed option, see the
Microsoft documentation to set up a custom feed or share.
After installing OMIMSWAC, ensure the following are enabled or available on the target node:
- The Redfish service is enabled.
- An iDRAC user slot is available.
- SMB port 445 is open. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2101556.
- For management of PowerEdge servers, OMIMSWAC uses an internal OS to iDRAC Pass-through interface. By default, iDRAC is reachable by using the IP address 169.254.0.1/<Subnet> or 169.254.1.1/<Subnet>. However, if the host has another network interface in the same subnet (For example, when tool like VMFleet is installed), OMIMSWAC might not be able to communicate to the iDRAC from the host OS. To resolve the conflict, log in to iDRAC and change the USB NIC IP address under the OS to iDRAC passthrough section. For more information about assigning this IP address, see the iDRAC documentation on the Dell EMC support site.
- Ensure that the target node is not booted to Lifecycle Controller.
- Target node is not in the reboot state, or is powered-off.
- The USB NIC adapter is not disabled on the target node OS.
- Set the PowerShell execution policy to RemoteSigned on the system with Windows Admin Center installed and on the target node OS.
