OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Version 5.2 Installation Guide

Upgrade OMIVV appliance using RPM (using Internet)

1. On the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, based on your network settings, enable proxy and enter proxy setting data, if necessary. See .

   For the available OMIVV appliance version, the applicable RPM and OVF OMIVV appliance upgrade mechanisms are displayed with a tick mark [].

2. To upgrade the OMIVV plug-in from an existing version to the available version, perform one of the following steps:
   • To upgrade using RPM that is available in Update Repository Path, ensure that Update Repository Path is set to the path: https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/vcenter-plugin-x64/latest/

   If the path is different, in the Appliance Management window, in the APPLIANCE UPDATE area, click Edit to update the path to https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/vcenter-plugin-x64/latest/ in the Update Repository Path text box, and click Apply.

3. Compare the available OMIVV appliance version and current OMIVV appliance version.
4. To apply the update to the OMIVV appliance, under Appliance Settings, click Update Virtual Appliance.
5. In the UPDATE APPLIANCE dialog box, click Update.
   After you click Update, you are logged out from the ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE window.
6. Close the web browser.
   During the upgrade process, the appliance restarts once or twice. Once the appliance is RPM upgraded, ensure that you clear the browser cache before logging in to the Dell admin portal.
   After the RPM upgrade is complete, you can view the login screen in the OMIVV console. Open a browser, enter the https:\\<ApplianceIP|hostname> link, and go to the APPLIANCE UPDATE area. You can verify that the available and current OMIVV appliance versions are same.

   All the customization that is done on the registered Dell alarms and Dell health update provider for PHA cluster will be restored to default after RPM upgrade.
