  • Introduction

    Dell EMC Enterprise Storage Analytics (ESA) for vRealize Operations Manager is a management pack for VMware vRealize Operations Manager that enables the collection of analytical data from Dell EMC resources. ESA complies with VMware management pack certification requirements and has received the VMware Ready certification.

    Install the Dell EMC adapter

    The ESA installation procedure installs the Dell EMC adapter and the dashboards. Before you begin, obtain the PAK file for the Dell EMC adapter from Dell EMC Online Support.

    Note: If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, the installation file downloads as a ZIP file but functions the same way as the PAK file.

    Caution: When you upgrade ESA, the standard Dell EMC dashboards are overwritten. To customize a standard Dell EMC dashboard, clone it, rename it, and then customize it.

    Install the adapter as follows:

    1. Save the PAK file in a temporary folder.
    1. In your web browser, start the vRealize Operations Manager administrative UI.

    For example, enter https://vROPs_<ip_address>.

    1. Log in as an administrator.
    2. Select Administration > Solutions and then click Add (+) to upload the PAK file.
    3. When a UI message indicates that the PAK file is ready to install, complete the wizard.

    Depending on your system's performance, the installation can take from 5 to 15 minutes.

    1. When the installation is complete, click Finish.

    The adapter appears in the list of installed solutions.

    After ESA has been installed, configure it for vCenter and for the PowerMax array, as described in the ESA product documentation on Dell EMC Online Support.
