text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247); ">OpenManage install for VMware ESXi 4.1 on Dell Servers</h1><p style="margin-bottom: 18px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; list-style: none; color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247); ">We’re starting to swing-migrate most of our servers off of the VMware Server 1.0.9 (or other version flavors) to ESX 4.1.&nbsp; A couple of challenges were in our way.&nbsp; One of them, the abilty to remotely view hardware, such as our RAID 5 health, or power supply health was a hot topic for us.&nbsp; We loved the abiltiy to use the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator to view the status of our RAID 5 Array, which could be in the process of rebuilding after a SAS drive failure and replacment.&nbsp; So how do you do this with your Linux-based version of ESXi 4.1?&nbsp; Well, you still can by using the Dell Server OM to do this!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 18px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; list-style: none; color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247); ">After looking into various downloading options in the Dell Support page for downloads, of our PowerEdge 2950, we were really stumped on what was actually going to work.&nbsp; At first, we tried to download the OpenManage for ESX 4.1, copy it to our ESXi 4.1 box, and install it.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 18px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; list-style: none; color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247); ">But we shortly figured out, with various errors, that the OpenManage download was for the ESX 4.1 servers, and not ESXi.&nbsp; So, we did some more research.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 18px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; list-style: none; color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247); ">Turns out, you have to download, and install the VIB’s for ESXi (Downloadable from Dell), then install OpenManage on your Windows Workstation / Server, to remotely view your ESXi 4.1 box.&nbsp;&nbsp; I’m going to try and walk you through the steps, as best as I can.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 18px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; list-style: none; color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;
