5 Chassis Inventory using the Dell OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

Executive summary

The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter provides value to IT administrators by surfacing

hardware inventory and health information in the single pane of glass that they use for their daily

virtualization management tasks. Instead of logging in to the chassis management console (CMC),

important information is now easily obtained when using the VMware vSphere Web Client. The

integration also enables a new set of alerts that are registered with the VMware vCenter.

Introduction

The purpose of this white paper is to provide information about monitoring a chassis by Dell OpenManage

Integration for VMware vCenter, instructions on creating a chassis profile, and additional information

about the integration points for displaying health and inventory information presented by the integration.

Objective

Using this whitepaper as a guide, the user should have a better understanding about the chassis discovery

process and how to configure a chassis profile. With a chassis profile created, the user should be able to

see inventory and health information about the managed chassis.

Prerequisites

The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter is designed to display chassis information within the

VMware vSphere web client only. Chassis information is not available within the OpenManage Integration

desktop client. Chassis information is only available for Dell 10

generation or latest blade servers and

designed for the Dell M1000e and Dell VRTX blade chassis. The OpenManage Integration for VMware

vCenter version 2.1 or later should be installed and configured as specified in the User’s Guide.

If you want to view information about chassis and health in the VMware web client, the chassis must first

be discovered and inventoried. The required configuration prerequisites to monitor the chassis from the

web client are:

1. Discovery of the chassis by the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

2. Adding the discovered chassis to a Chassis Profile

3. Inventory of the chassis
