Hello. In this video we will be looking at how to deploy OpenManage Integration for
VMware vCenter 5.0. To start right-click the data center and choose 'Deploy OVF Template'. You will
need to have downloaded and extracted the files earlier. Point the wizard to those files now.
Here we will name the VM and choose the location. Next choose a host,
continue past the details summary.
On the storage screen i will choose 'Thin Provision' to save space.
Verify which network to use, then press 'Finish'
on the summary page. It will take several minutes to deploy this OVF.
Once finished we can turn on the virtual machine and wait for the system to post.
No interaction is going to be needed until we get to the login prompt.
Once here we need to log in as the admin user
and set its password. We will also be setting the password for the read only account.
This account can be used to log into the console to help troubleshoot various issues.
After logging in with the admin account we will see several configuration options.
The url for our web page is also on this screen. First make sure our web service is available.
We'll need to continue past the browser warning then we should see our login screen.
We could log in at this point, let's finish configuring the appliance.
Under 'Date and Time Properties' we can configure the date,
the time and time zone that our system is in.
Next we'll need to configure the IP settings for the appliance. OMIV supports two adapters maximum.
For this demonstration i have left it as DHCP. On a customer system however
they should use static IP addresses and make sure their DNS has a record for the appliance.
Here we can set a more appropriate name for the appliance if needed.
Finally let's go ahead and give OMIV a restart then we can work on joining it to vCenter.
Note that it will take several minutes for this to reboot.
Once online log into the webpage with the admin password.
Click on 'Register New vCenter Server'. You will need to give the IP or FQDN of
your vCenter appliance, and the login credentials for it.
After a few minutes you should see a success message next to a green check mark,
then log out a vCenter and start a new connection. We can verify the status of
plugin install in the recent tasks section once complete. We may still not see the new plugin,
go ahead and log out and log back in to fix this.
You should now see the new OpenManage Integration section under the menu.
We will cover additional functions of OMIV in other videos.
Thank you for watching this tutorial on deploying OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter 5.0.
