ESXi / Dell Precision T7610 HW monitoring

[bdf0506]

I'm looking for a way to view hardware stats with ESXi 6.7 on a Dell Precision T7610.

I want to be able to use Open Manage Tools / Essentials, but having no luck. I installed the VIB from https://vinfrastructure.it/2018/08/dell-emc-omsa-vsphere-6-7-vib/ , but doesn't appear this enables anything for me.

Or do I need to install Open Manage on a guest OS and somehow pass through the T7610 to that VM? It's also possible that the T7610 isn't supported at all with OMSA.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

This is a workstation, so in all likelihood you won't be able to get hardware monitoring info through ESXi because it's made for server platforms.

For others that may find this useful. You can install the VIB package referenced above, then follow step 6 in How to install OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) on VMware to collect logs | Dell US  and you'll be able to view some hardware stats. Not a ton of info there, but will be useful for troubleshooting and such. Still nothing shown the ESXi console itself, unfortunately.
