Introduction

VMWare vCenter Server is the centralized management utility for VMware, and enables vSphere infrastructure management from a single centralized location.

Prerequisites

If VMWare is running on the private network, TubHub must be configured before vCenter integration can be added to Cloudaware.

TunHub Setup

Since the access to VMWare vCenter Servers may be limited due to their location in a private network, this integration requires setting up a TunHub Gateway connection with Cloudaware. Address the Cloudaware TunHub Proxy Setup Guide for more information.

NOTE: vSphere should be accessible from a selected host with Breeze Agent.

Cloudaware Setup

1. Log in to your Cloudaware account → Admin.
2. Find vCenter Management Server in the list of integrations, click +Add.

1. To grant access to connect to VMWare infrastructure, fill out the following fields:

¹Name - VMWare Integration Name
_²URL - the TunHub URL provided by Cloudaware (e.g. https://tunhub2.cloudaware.com:1234)_
³Username - the username for your internal resource
⁴Password - the password for your internal resource
⁵Trust Certificate - check this box if the VMWare vCenter server runs on a private network, and TunHub Gateway has been set up by Cloudaware.
4. Click Save to test the connection.
5. The green light in 'Status' means that VMWare vCenter Management Server integration has been successfully added. If there is a red light, please contact support@cloudaware.com.
