A vCloud Director® server group contains one or more vCloud Director servers. The vCloud Director servers use a shared database, and are associated with vCenter® servers and ESX® hosts. Each vCloud Director server is considered a cell in the server group, with established connections to the shared database, vCenter server, and any ESX hosts.
Given a vCloud Director server, the vCloud Discovery Wizard allows to locate a desired server group, and to configure monitoring for one or more server cells belonging to that group. This results in two or more agent instances: a vCloud Director agent (to monitor the vCloud server) and one or more VMware Performance agents (to monitor the associated vCenters).
NOTE: In FIPS-compliant mode, you need to import the CA certificate or the self-signed certificate to the KeyStore of FglAM to use this option.
NOTE: The VMware Performance Agent is provided with Foglight for VMware. Ensure this product is installed and enabled in your environment before running the vCloud Discovery wizard. For complete information about Foglight for VMware for VMware, see the Foglight for VMware User and Reference Guide
