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

Hi Amit,

Ask you Vcenter team to give you proper credentials of that server and also a proper read only access as well.

Also check Firewall and VPN. And check were is mid server installed.

Thanks

Hi Amit,

We discovered vCenter Infrastructure recently, As per your previous comments Test Connection is successful.

Please try below options also.

1. Execute Telnet command from Mid Server

EX# telnet <Target Server IP> 443

2. Check MiD Server should have VMWare "Capability" and Supported Applications has "Discovery"

3. Mid user should have "discovery_admin" role.

Please Mark if it is helpful and let me know the discovery status.

Regards,

Vinil.
