VMware vCenter integration

If you are using VMware vSphere, it is recommended that you integrate the management server with your vCenter Server.

To integrate the management server with a VMware vCenter Server:

  1. In the Navigation tree, right click Virtual machines and select VMware vCenter Integration
  2. Click Configure integration
  3. Select the Enable VMware vCenter integration check box
  4. Specify the vCenter Server’s IP address or name and provide access credentials for the server
  5. Click OK

As a result, a group that has the same name as the vCenter Server appears on the management server under Virtual machines. For more information, please refer to “VMware vCenter integration.”

To remove integration with a VMware vCenter Server:

  1. In the Navigation tree, right click Virtual machines and select VMware vCenter Integration
  2. Click Configure integration
  3. Clear the Enable VMware vCenter integration check box
  4. Click OK

The group that has the same name as the vCenter Server will be removed and the policies applied to this group or its child groups will be revoked.

Virtual machines remain in the All virtual machines group and in other groups if their host is managed by Agent for ESX/ESXi. Policies applied to these groups or directly to the machines continue functioning on the machines. This way, by removing the integration you remove only the machines that are not manageable.
