OpenManage allows the system hardware to be viewable from a web browser when 
you point the browser to the Windows system you installed the OpenManage web 
server on.  Once at the login screen http://windowshost:1311 you will then 
enter the name of the ESX host you installed the instrumentation on, along with 
root / password.

Installing OpenManage on ESX does not change storage information seen from 
within the Virtual Infrastructure Client.

Subject: OT: monitoring PERC4e/di in ESXi 4.0

Hi all,

Maybe slightly off-topic, but asking anyway.
We installed ESXi 4.0 on a refurbished PE2850 with a PERC4e/di with 6x73Gb 
disks in RAID5 for light lab virtualization duties.
We used the ESXi 4.0 installer with Dell customisations, installed OpenManage 
via VMware vCLI, and the "health status" in vsphere client shows all the bits 
of the hardware nicely, but not the PERC, even though it's recognized and 
useable as a datastore.

After configuring SNMP traps in ESXi, we tried pulling a power cable, and got 
the traps we expected, but pulling a live disk out of the raid array did not do 
anything except start the "Blinking Amber Light of Trouble(tm)" on the server 
front. No status change in vsphere client either.

Thanks for any hints/clues,

Kind regards,

Robert von Bismarck
