Add vCenter Server Information
YoucanaddthevCenterServerinstancesinyourvirtualizedenvironmenttovCenterChargebackManager.
Thishelpsdeterminethecomputingresourceutilizationforthevirtualmachinesandcalculatethetotalcosts.
To add vCenter Server information
1 CalltheAPIbyusingthefollowingsyntax.
<HTTP_request_method> <Base_URL>/vCenterServer
Forexample,youcandefineacallasfollows:
POST https://123.123.123.123/vCenter-CB/api/vCenterServer?vesrion=2.0
2IntherequestXML,specifythefollowinginformation:
 vCenterServerURL
