Prerequisites for adding VMware virtualization servers
Ensure that the following requirements are met to add the VMware vCenter or ESX servers to Resiliency Platform for discovery by an Infrastructure Management Server (IMS):
Ensure that the IMS can ping the vCenter servers or the ESX servers from which it can discover the information on VMware Infrastructure.
Optionally, you can add a separate host to act as the discovery host for the vCenter Server.
Ensure that you have configured near real-time discovery of VMware events.
See About near real-time discovery of VMware events.
See Setting up near real-time discovery of VMware events.
See Configuring the VMware vCenter Server to generate SNMP traps.
Ensure that the vCenter Server user account that is used to add the servers to Resiliency Platform has the following privileges assigned:
Table: VMware vCenter Server privileges required for adding VMware virtualization servers
Category | Privilege |
---|---|
System | System.View System.Anonymous System.Read |
Host | Host.Config.Storage Host.Config.Settings Host.Config.Network |
Virtual machine configuration | VirtualMachine.Config.AddNewDisk VirtualMachine.Config.RemoveDisk VirtualMachine.Config.EditDevice VirtualMachine.Config.DiskExtend |
Virtual machine interaction | VirtualMachine.Interact.PowerOn VirtualMachine.Interact.PowerOff |
Virtual machine inventory | VirtualMachine.Inventory.Register VirtualMachine.Inventory.Unregister |
Virtual machine provisioning | VirtualMachine.Provisioning.Customize |
Network privileges | Network.Assign |
Datastore | Datastore.AllocateSpace Datastore.FileManagement Datastore.Browse Datastore.Rename |
Alarm | Alarm.Create Alarm.Delete Alarm.Modify |
vCenter | Global.Settings |
There are additional requirements for virtual machines if added to the IMS, depending on the use case.
