Configure the server communication preferences between IT Advisor and VMware vCenter Server. See supported versions here.
The VMware vCenter user must have permission to these operations:
setCustomValue
logUserEvent
setTaskDescription
addCustomFieldDef
exitMaintenanceModeTask
destroyPropertyFilter
createFilter
waitForUpdatesEx
retrieveServiceContent
login
logout
waitForUpdates
retrieveProperties
Type the logon information of the vCenter server to connect to: host name / IP address, port number, and user credentials.
For a high-security logon session, select Use SSL and accept the certificate. Ask the vCenter Server administrator for details if you are unsure whether to use SSL.
The VMware vCenter integration is event-based meaning the vCenter will report directly to IT Advisor if events/updates occur that the system must be notified about.
