Adding vCenter and host information

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.

Adding a vCenter

Complete the following steps to add a VMware® vCenter™ to your vRanger configuration.

1
In the VirtualCenters section, click Add.
The Add VirtualCenter Credentials dialog box appears.
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.
4
In the User Password field, enter the password for the preceding account.
5
In the Port Number field, enter the port to use for communication — the default is 443.
6
Click Connect.
The dialog box closes, and the vCenter appears in the VirtualCenters section and on the VirtualCenter and Host Information page. The hosts managed by that vCenter appear in the Hosts section.

Entering host credentials

Complete the following steps to enter the credentials required to connect to the host or hosts.

1
In the Hosts section, select one or more hosts.
2
Click Edit.
The Host Connections dialog box appears. If you have selected multiple hosts, the DNS Name or IP section displays “[multiple connections].”
3
In the User Name field, enter an account for the host.
4
In the User Password field, enter the password for the preceding account.
5
In the Root Password field, enter the root password for the selected hosts.
6
In the Port Number field, enter the port to use for communication — the default is 22.
7
Click Connect.
NOTE: VMware® ESXi™ requires the use of the root account. You cannot use a non-root account with ESXi.

Adding hosts

If you have hosts that are not managed by a VMware® vCenter™, you can add them individually.

1
In the Hosts section, click Add.
2
In the DNS Name or IP field, enter the FQDN or IP address of the Host.
3
In the User Name field, enter an account for the host.
4
In the User Password field, enter the password for the preceding account.
5
In the Root Password field, enter the password for the root account.
