4 Linking DPMC with Prism Central
DPMC works seamlessly with Prism Central and supports all ESXi and Hyper-V clusters registered with Prism
Central (AHV is not supported). You can connect Prism Central after DPMC is powered on.
4.1 Powering on and launching DPMC web interface
To power on and launch the DPMC web interface:
1. Launch the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client, and then log into the vCenter Server. In Hyper-V,
launch the Hyper-V manager.
2. Locate the DPMC VM.
3. Right-click Power>Turn on VM.
4. Open the console window to monitor the power-on process until the power on is completed and no error
message is displayed.
5. After DPMC is successfully powered on, launch the DPMC web interface using the Network address
provided during the DPMC VM installation.
NOTE: Google Chrome is the only web browser that supports DPMC.
4.2 Connecting with Prism Central
To connect Prism Central with DPMC, you need the Prism Central IP address and credentials. You must
access DPMC with a Prism Central local user account with Admin privileges other than the default admin
account.
NOTE: After you have registered DPMC with Prism Central, the registration lasts for the lifetime of the DPMC
instance and cannot be changed.
During login, DPMC can also determine the account type (default admin or non-admin) and displays an error
if you try to access Prism Central as admin.
1. Use a web browser to connect to the DPMC web interface by entering the IP address assigned to DPMC
during deployment.
2. Enter the Prism Central IP address, username and password of Prism Central on the initial page. Click
the arrow.
