Page 32

To run the Fix Non-Compliant Bare Metal Server Wizard:

1.In the Dell Management Center, in the left pane, click Compliance → Bare Metal Servers.

2.In the Bare Metal Servers window, view the non-compliant hosts, then click Fix Non-Compliant Bare Metal Servers.

5.In the Summary window, review the actions that take place on the non-compliant bare metal servers.

6.Click Finish.

Re-checking Bare Metal Server Compliance

For servers you have fixed outside of the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, you must run this manual server compliance re-check. You can find this on the Dell Management Center, Compliance, Bare Metal Servers page.

To re-check bare metal server compliance:

1.In the Dell Management Center → Compliance → Bare Metal Servers page, click Re-check Compliance.

2.In the Non-Compliant Servers window, to refresh the list, click Refresh.

3.To run the re-check, click Check Compliance.

4.To abort the re-check, click Abort All Tests.

5.If you successfully fixed your system, the list refreshes and your system is removed from the list. If not, the non- compliant system remains on the list.

6.When finished, click Done.

Downloading An ISO For Manual Firmware Updates

The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter automatically fixes most compliance issues. Sometimes, a manual ISO installation is required. .You can download the required ISO to manually fix compliance using the following steps:

1.In the Dell Management Center → Compliance → Bare Metal Servers page, to download an ISO, click Download ISO.

2.In the Download ISO dialog box, to find the location of the ISO, click Download.

NOTE: The external browser may open behind this application window.

3.Navigate to the ISO file you need to make your bare metal server compliant.

4.Burn that ISO, boot the host through that ISO and then update the FW components to the required level.

iDRAC License Compliance

When you select the iDRAC License Compliance page, it runs a compliance test. This test lasts for a few minutes. The vSphere hosts and bare metal servers listed on this page are non-compliant because they do not have a compatible iDRAC license. The table displays the status of the iDRAC license. On this page you can see how many days remain on your license and update it as required. If your Run inventory job link is disabled, that means there are no vSphere hosts that are non-compliant due to the iDRAC license. If the Recheck Bare Metal Server Compliance link is disabled, that means there are no bare metal servers that are non-compliant due to the iDRAC license.

1.In Dell Management Center, in the left pane, click Compliance.

2.Expand Compliance, and click iDRAC License.

Once you arrive to this page the compliance test runs. This is the same test that runs when you click Refresh.

3.If your license is out of date, click Purchase/Renew iDRAC License.

4.Log into the Dell License Management page and update or purchase a new iDRAC license. Use the information on this page to identify and update your iDRAC.

5.After you install an iDRAC license, run an inventory job for vSphere hosts and return to this page after the inventory job completes. For bare metal servers, recheck licensed bare metal server compliance.
