OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter for Web Client User's Guide Version 3.1

PDF

Introduction

VMware vCenter is the primary console used by IT administrators to manage and monitor VMware vSphere ESX/ESXi hosts. In a standard virtualized environment, VMware alerts and monitoring are used to prompt you to launch a separate console to resolve hardware issues. OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter is a product that lets you manage VMware vCenter servers from within the VMware Web client and free you from being tied to a Windows system. Using OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, you have capabilities to manage and monitor Dell hardware within the virtualized environment, such as:
  • Alerts and environmental monitoring: Detect key hardware faults and perform virtualization-aware actions (for example, migrate workloads or place host in maintenance mode).
  • Single server monitoring and reporting: Monitoring and reporting capabilities of servers.
  • Firmware updates: Update Dell hardware to the most recent version of BIOS and firmware.
  • Enhanced deployment options: Create hardware profiles, hypervisor profiles, and deploy any combination of the two on bare-metal Dell PowerEdge servers, remotely and without PXE—using vCenter
