information on vMA, see vmware.com/support/developer/vima/.
1.
Log on to vMA as an administrator and provide the password when prompted.
2.
Copy and unzip the OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-7.1.0-<bldno>.VIB-ESX<version>i_<bld-revno>.zip file to a directory on
the vMA.

Shut down all guest operating systems on the ESXi host and put the ESXi host in maintenance mode.

In vMA, execute the following command:
For VMware ESXi4.0/ESXi 4.1:
vihostupdate --server <
IP address of ESXi Host
> -i -b
<
path to Dell OpenManage file
>
For VMware ESXi 5.0 U1:
esxcli --server <
IP Address of ESXi 5.0 host

install -d /var/log/vmware/<
Dell OpenManage file
