Prerequisites
Since access to vCenter Management Servers may be limited due to their location in a private network, the TunHub gateway must be configured before vCenter integration is added to Cloudaware.
| Note |
|---|
vSphere should be accessible from a selected host with installed Cloudaware Breeze Agent. |
Add vCenter server
...
Log in to Cloudaware account → Admin.
...
Find vCenter Management Server in the list of Cloud integrations. Click +Add.
...
Fill out the form:
WHERE
Name - vCenter Integration name
URL - the TunHub URL generated by Cloudaware after a designated route is set up in TunHub integration, e.g. https://tunhub.cloudaware.com:1234
Hostname - vCenter Management Server hostname.
Username - the username for vCenter Management server
Password - the password for vCenter Management server
Service Instance UUID (optional) - vCenter server UUID* if Cloudaware Breeze agent is to be installed on VMs. This field will be required for correct matching of Breeze data.
Trust Certificate - check this check box if the VMware runs on a private network, and TunHub gateway has been set up in Cloudaware.
*UUID is listed as instanceUuid. Get the instanceUuid using the following browser path:https://<vcserver>/mob/?moid=ServiceInstance&doPath=content.about
Set up as many vCenter integrations as many vCenter Management servers you need Cloudaware to have access to. Each integration requires a unique designated route configured in TunHub.
