The VirtualCenter and Host Information page appears. Before vRanger can add source objects to the My Inventory pane, you must configure a connection to a VMware® vCenter™ or a VMware® ESXi™ Server, or both.
To add vCenter and host information, complete the following tasks as necessary:
• |
Adding a vCenter: Complete this task to add a vCenter and all associated hosts. |
• |
Entering host credentials: Complete this task to add credentials to hosts that appeared after adding a vCenter. |
• |
Adding hosts: Complete this task to add individual hosts not associated with a vCenter. |
Complete the following steps to add a VMware® vCenter™ to your vRanger configuration.
1 |
2 |
In the DNS Name or IP field, enter the FQDN or IP address of the vCenter Server™. |
3 |
In the User Name field, enter the name of an account with privileges on the vCenter Server. |
NOTE: The user name for the vCenter credential should be entered in the username@domain format, rather than domain\username. Sometimes, the domain might not be required. Avoid special characters in the user name. If these credentials are changed in the future, you must restart the Quest vRanger Service to recognize the changes. |
