3 Getting Started with
vCenter Server Plug-in
This chapter provides instructions for accessing the vCenter Server Plug-in and
provides information on the plug-in’s user interface, including:
Starting VMware vCenter Server Using the vCenter Server Plug-in
“Introduction to the vCenter Server Plug-in” on page 20
“Enabling and Disabling the vCenter Server Plug-in” on page 23
Starting VMware vCenter Server Using the
vCenter Server Plug-in
If you have not done so, create a data center (select New Datacenter), and then
add each ESX/ESXi Server to the new data center. Then, select the server from
the tree on the left side to display a row of tabs on the right side. If the server has
the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider and adapters installed, and if the plug-in
installation and registration have been done successfully, the row of tabs includes
the QConvergeConsole tab (see “vCenter Server Plug-in User Interface” on
page 19). Click this tab to begin using the plug-in to manage adapters in vCenter
Server.
If you start and connect the vSphere Client directly to an ESX/ESXi Server, the
Plug-in does not appear.
To start the vCenter Server Plug-in:
1. Start the VMware vSphere Client and connect to the VMware vCenter
Server by entering the IP address or its qualified domain name, user name,
and password, and then click Login.
2. If the Security Warning dialog box appears, click Ignore to use the current
SSL certificate.
If you start and connect the vSphere Client directly to an ESX/ESXi
Server, the vCenter Server Plug-in does not appear.
If you have not done so, create a data center (select New Datacenter)
and add each ESX/ESXi Server to the newly created data center.
