Installing and Configuring Adapters 2
You install an adapter in vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise from a TAR file or PAK file, depending on
whether you have a standalone or vApp installation. You must configure an adapter instance for embedded
adapters. Most adapters also include configuration files that you can modify to tune adapter operation.
This chapter includes the following topics:

Install an Adapter in vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise
Standalone
If you have a standalone installation, you install an adapter by extracting the adapter installation files from a
TGZ file and running an installation utility. The installation utility places the adapter files in a folder under
the
vcenter-ops
/user/plugins/inbound folder.
Prerequisites
n
Download the adapter installation TGZ file. You can download most adapter installation files
anonymously from ftp://ftp.integrien.com/. Work with VMware Global Support Services (GSS) to obtain
adapter installation files that are not available on the FTP site.
n
Make a note of the build number in the TGZ file. The build number appears after the adapter name, for
example,
adaptername
-
buildnumber
.tgz.
n
Read the adapter installation guide and release notes. The adapter documentation is included with the
TGZ file on the FTP site.
Procedure
1 Open the TGZ file and extract the TAR file to a temporary folder on your
vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise server.
2 In the temporary folder, open the TAR file and extract and run the installer for your operating system
platform.
3 Log in to the Custom user interface as an administrator.
4 Select Admin > Support.
