Dell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter: Enabling a Dell Server for Server Management in vCenter

Example of non-compliant hosts Figure 17.

Due to security restrictions pertaining to Lockdown Mode, Dell Management Plug-in cannot

communicate or run the full compliance check for hosts with Lockdown Mode set to Enabled state.

Such hosts are not shown in the non-compliant and are marked with a message on top of the non-

compliant hosts list.

Fixing non-compliant hosts

Dell Management Plug-in can take necessary steps to resolve the compliance issue by installing

software, updating software, configuring SNMP on host, turning on CSIOR on iDRAC etc. After

completing all the required steps to make a host compliant, an automatic inventory job is triggered to

re-collect the latest information on that host.

To fix compliance issues on non-compliant hosts, use the Host Compliance Wizard:

1. Click Fix non-compliant vSphere Hosts on the vSphere Hosts page (alternatively, you can

click Fix vSphere Hosts for Compliance on the Overview screen). The compliance wizard

Select Hosts screen displays.
