OMS requires that the Oracle emcli utility is installed and configured. For more information, see the Oracle Help Center for Oracle Enterprise Manager documentation.
Dell OpenManage Enterprise is a mandatory component to be deployed as a virtual appliance on hypervisor to use OpenManage Target to monitor PowerEdge Servers. The Plug-in retrieves all the hardware information to the Oracle EM console from OpenManage Enterprise. Therefore, OpenManage Enterprise must be installed and the Dell devices (to be monitored in the Oracle EM console) must be discovered in OpenManage Enterprise for the Plug-in to show the relevant data for each device. The OpenManage Plug-in for Oracle EM supports OpenManage Enterprise versions 3.5 or later.
To download the latest version of the OpenManage Enterprise and for more information on installing, configuring, and using the system, see the Dell OpenManage Enterprise support page.
