vCenter Discovery

Amit39 · ‎01-31-2018

Hi,

I am trying to setup discovery for vCenter. So I am currently working with respective team to get the read only access to vCenter.

Do I need to work on credential stuff for vCenter discovery and may I know the next steps i need to follow to setup a successful discovery for vCenter.

Appreciate your quick help.

Thank you.

Regards,
Amit

Hi,

For vCenter, you just need a read only user within vcenter, create cred within SN and run a scan against the vcenter IP. SN discovery will do the rest.

"VMWare — vCenter credentials require a read only user that will be used to query the vCenter API when found as a running process or as a discovered vCenter appliance. "

Take a look at vCenter Discovery and process flow

This is the result I am getting

Test Credential-> Target IP (vcenter IP address)->port (443)->MID Server (selected the MID server)->OK->Credential Validated

Do you have rights to discover the vcenter host?

I have discovery admin role. May I know in case anything else need to be required.

Not the rights with SN. I am asking if you have the rights to discovery the vcenter host. The Server that vcenter is installed on.

May I know how can I get that detail. As I only tried to able to login to the vCenter with the community domain account credential and it works.
