These are the steps for
installing OMSA and related configuration for esxi 4.1 (was done on
a blade server)
-
Get the package
from: http://ftp.us.dell.com/sysman/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-2247.VIB-ESX41i_A01.zip
- Move the package to
the host either via scp or storage browser
- Run esxupdate
update --bundle ./OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-2247.VIB-ESX41i_A01.zip
This is the
output:
/OMSA # esxupdate update
--bundle ./OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-2247.VIB-ESX41i_A01.zip

The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted
for the
changes to be effective.
As you can see, we don’t have
the string “CIMoem-dell-openmanage-esxiProviderEnabled “ until we reboot
the host:
/OMSA # esxcfg-advcfg -l | grep
CIM
/UserVars/CIMEnabled [Integer] :
Enable or Disable the CIM service
/UserVars/CIMemulex-cim-providerProviderEnabled
[Integer] : Enable or Disable the CIM emulex-cim-provider Provider
/UserVars/CIMlsi-providerProviderEnabled
[Integer] : Enable or Disable the CIM lsi-provider Provider
/UserVars/CIMqlogic-fchba-providerProviderEnabled
[Integer] : Enable or Disable the CIM qlogic-fchba-provider Provider
/UserVars/CIMvmw_hdrProviderEnabled
[Integer] : Enable or Disable the CIM vmw_hdr Provider
/UserVars/CIMvmw_kmoduleProviderEnabled
[Integer] : Enable or Disable the CIM vmw_kmodule Provider
/UserVars/CIMvmw_lsiProviderEnabled
[Integer] : Enable or Disable the CIM vmw_lsi Provider
/UserVars/CIMvmw_swmgtProviderEnabled
[Integer] : Enable or Disable the CIM vmw_swmgt Provider
/OMSA #
5.
Reboot host: (this
takes about 5 minutes.)
6.
Run esxcfg-advcfg
--set 1 /UserVars/CIMoem-dell-openmanage-esxiProviderEnabled
~ # esxcfg-advcfg --set 1 /UserVars/CIMoem-dell-openmanage-esxiProviderEnabled
Value of
CIMoem-dell-openmanage-esxiProviderEnabled is 1
~ #
You can also do this though the
VIC:
You can verify the services are
running as such:
~ # /usr/lib/ext/dell/srvadmin/bin/dataeng
status
dsm_sa_datamgrd (pid 6422 ) is
running
dsm_sa_eventmgrd (pid 10466 ) is

dsm_sa_snmpd (pid 10578 ) is
running

package is installed, run the following) :

7.
Check if SNMP is
enabled on the host: (run this from the CLI) (I took out the client identifying information)
C:\Program Files
(x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>vicfg-snmp.pl --server
HOSTNAME --username root --password root --show
Current SNMP agent settings:
Enabled : 0
UDP port : 161
Communities :
Notification targets :
We now have to set the community string, and to enable the agent, as you can see there is no entry under communities, and the enabled value is 0 (zero)
To Enable:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>vicfg-snmp.pl --server HOSTNAME --username root --password root -E
Enabling agent...
Complete.
To Set community:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>vicfg-snmp.pl --server HOSTNAME --username root --password root -c public
Changing community list to: public...
Complete.
8.
As you can see in
step 7, SNMP trap destination is not configured so we run this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>vicfg-snmp.pl
--server HOSTNAME --username root --password root -t 10.10.10.10@162/public
Changing notification(trap) targets list to:
Complete.
9.
Let’s now check it’s
done:
C:\Program Files
(x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>vicfg-snmp.pl --server HOSTNAME --username
root --password root --show
Current SNMP agent settings:
Enabled : 1
UDP port : 161
Communities :
public
Notification targets :
10.10.10.10@162/public
10. We can now send a test, and then check with the
OpenManage server if it was received:
C:\Program Files
(x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>vicfg-snmp.pl --server
HOSTNAME --username root --password root --test
Sending test nofication(trap) to
all configured targets...
Complete. Check with each target
to see if trap was received.
