information, it is recommended that the DMPVV appliance has access to an internet connection either

directly, or through a proxy. Dell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter enables customers to:

 Get deep-level detail from Dell servers for inventory, monitoring, and alerting — all from

within vCenter

 Apply BIOS and Firmware updates to Dell servers from within vCenter

 Automatically perform Dell-recommended vCenter actions based on Dell hardware alerts

 Access Dell hardware warranty information online

 Rapidly deploy new bare metal hosts using Profile features

For more information, see the web page for Dell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter.

7.5 Dell Compellent Enterprise Manager

Compellent Enterprise Manager simplifies storage management by providing a single, centralized

console for the administration of multiple local and remote Compellent systems. Users can configure

and verify remote replication processes, monitor storage capacity and disk utilization in real time, and

generate comprehensive enterprise storage usage and performance reports.

7.6 VMware vCloud Connector

VMware vCloud Connector is an optional component of the Active System 1000v solution. When

included, it is deployed upon the management stack, alongside other management VMs. For the base

functionality, three VMs are necessary, a single ‘server’ VM and two ‘node’ VMs. The node VMs have

responsibility for the physical transfer of VM workloads. Within the Active System 1000v, two of these

components, the server and the local node, are installed. The third component, ‘remote’ node VM,

should be installed outside of the Active System 1000v solution, near the infrastructure to which it

provides connectivity.

After deploying the VMware vCloud Connector ‘node’ VMs, the size of the virtual disk may have to be

increased based on the size of expected VMs to be transferred and the number of concurrent transfers

anticipated.

8 Connecting Active System 1000 to Datacenter Network

It’s likely that an Active System 1000 is connected into a data center infrastructure that consists of Dell

Networking switches, Cisco switches, or those of some other vendor. Active System uses Dell

Networking S4810 as the ToR switch and Dell Networking S55 for the OOB switch. In this section, we

provide examples to show how Active System is connected to the Datacenter network.

8.1 Connecting the S55 OOB switch to Datacenter Network

A Dell Networking S55 switch needs to be connected to the datacenter out of band network, if

available, using two 1Gb uplinks from the S55 switch. This is shown in Figure 9.
