Editing a VMware virtualization discovery configuration
You can edit a vCenter Server discovery configuration that was added to Veritas Resiliency Platform to modify the information for an existing IMS or to add the vCenter Server to another IMS (if there is more than one in the data center). For example, you may choose to split ESX discovery between multiple IMSs.
For an existing IMS previously selected for the vCenter Server, you can modify:
The credentials to log on to the vCenter Server
When entering login credentials, an administrative vCenter Server user account is required.
The ESX server discovery
You can add or remove selected ESX servers or change between individual server discovery and auto discovery.
You can use autodiscovery only if the vCenter Server is configured with one IMS. If an existing IMS is autodiscovering the ESX servers, you cannot add another IMS for that vCenter Server without first editing the configuration for the existing IMS to change from auto discovery.
Note:
After upgrading from version 2.0 HF 5 to 2.2 or from 2.1 to 2.2, you need to edit the vCenter Server discovery configuration for those vCenters which were added before upgrading. You need to open the edit wizard and submit without making any changes.
To edit a virtualization discovery configuration
- Navigate
Settings (menu bar) > Infrastructure > Details View
Expand the data center > Virtualization > VMware tab
On the row for the vCenter server, select the vertical ellipsis > Edit.
- In the Edit vCenter wizard:
To edit the vCenter configuration for the current IMS:
If more than one IMS is listed, select the IMS that currently discovers the vCenter Server.
Optionally, edit the credentials to log on to the vCenter.
On the next screen, you can add or remove selected ESX servers or change between individual server discovery and auto discovery.
To add the vCenter to a new IMS for discovery (only available if first IMS is not configured for autodiscovery):
Select the new IMS and enter the vCenter Server logon credentials.
On the next screen, any ESX servers not yet selected for the existing IMS are listed. Select those you want the new IMS to discover.
To see the ESX servers already added to the first IMS, select Show ESX in other IMS. These are not available for selection. To return to the list of available servers, uncheck the box.
- Review the configured vCenter Server, ESX servers, and IMS on the verification screen and proceed with the configuration.
Discovery of the modifications occurs in the background. You can view the progress on the Activities page.
On the VMware tab, if you have added an IMS, both the existing and new IMS are listed on the row for the vCenter Server.
