Hello,
I'm using vCenter integration in DCO. I noticed in vCenter event logs are full with the followings:
MGMT\x_apcdcim is the user which has read only in vCenter. But DCO tries to create a custom host value so wants to write something in vCenter. This appears when I do association between DCO entity and ESXi host which is coming from the integration.
What DCO wants to create as a custom value in vCenter and how can I avoid these errors?

Hello Mate
The link which describes the permissions required for the vCenter integration is here: Configuring VMware vCenter integration
I have pasted the info below so you don't have to move to the link. Yes. Once the ESXi host is associated to a device in a rack, DCO will attempt to set a couple of custom properties on the host in vCenter which notes the location of the server. This means when you view the host in vCenter you'll see a property which notes which room, rack, and U location the ESXi host resides.
The VMware vCenter user must have permission to these operations:
Far as I know this can not be turned off.
