In the My Inventory view, click the VMware tab.
2
Click the Add icon, and then click Virtual Center.

In the User Name field, enter the name of an account with privileges on the vCenter Server.

For the required permissions for a vRanger vCenter account, see the topic on configuring vCenter permissions in the Quest vRanger Installation/Upgrade Guide.

NOTE: The user name for the vCenter credential should be entered in the username@domain format, rather than domain\username. Sometimes, the domain name might not be required. Avoid special characters in the user name.

If these credentials are changed in the future, you must restart the vRanger Service to recognize the changes.

6
Click Connect.

vRanger attempts to connect to the vCenter using the current configuration. If it is successful, the vCenter appears in the My Inventory pane.
