Dell 2.3 manual When I tried to use lockdown mode, it failed

I Have the OMSA Agent Installed on a Dell Host System, But I Still Get an Error Message That OMSA is Not Installed. What Should I Do?

To resolve this issue on an 11th generation server:

1.Install OMSA with the Remote Enablement component on the host system.

2.If you are using the command line to install OMSA, make sure to specify the -c option. If OMSA is already installed, reinstall it with the -c option and restart the service:

srvadmin-install.sh -c srvadmin-services.sh restart

For an ESXi host, you must install OMSA VIB using the VMware Remote CLI tool, and reboot the system.

Can the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Support ESX/ESXI with Lockdown Mode Enabled?

Yes. Lockdown Mode is supported in this release on hosts ESXi 4.1 and above.

Inventory is Failing on Hosts ESXi 4.0 Update2 and ESXi Update 3 in Lockdown Mode After a Reboot.

Lockdown Mode requires ESXi 4.1 or later. If you are using an earlier ESXi version, when a host is rebooted for any reason during Lockdown Mode, inventory continues failing unless you perform the following steps on host after a reboot.

The workaround steps for ESXi 4.0 Update2 and Update3 are:

1.In vSphere Client, select Hosts and Clusters, then in the left pane, select the host and then click the Configuration tab.

2.In the left pane, under Software click Security Profile.

3.Scroll down to Lockdown Mode, and then click Edit.

4.In the Lockdown Mode dialog box, to disable Lockdown Mode, clear the Enable check box, and then click OK.

5.Log in to the host console and select Restart Management Agents, press <ENTER>, and to confirm, press <F11>.

6.To enable Lockdown Mode, repeat steps 1 through 4, except this time select the Enable check box, and then click OK.

When I tried to use lockdown mode, it failed.

When I added a host to the connection profile in lockdown mode, the inventory kicked off but failed stating that “No Remote Access Controller was found or Inventory is not supported on this host.” Inventory is supposed to work for a host in lockdown mode, right?

If you put the host in lockdown mode or remove a host from lockdown mode, you must wait 30–minutes before performing the next operation on the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter.

On trying a firmware update with an invalid DUP, the hardware update job status on the vCenter console neither fails nor times-out for hours, though the job status in LC says ‘FAILED’. Why is this happening?

When the invalid DUP is picked for firmware update, the status of the task in the vCenter console window remains ‘In Progress’ but the message is changed to the reason of failure. This is a known VMWare defect and will be fixed in the future releases of VMWare vCenter.
