Set Properties for runvcopsServerConfiguration
runvcopsServerConfiguration uses values in the vcops_parameters.properties file to estimate the maximum
number of resources that the vCenter Operations Manager server host can support. The
vcops_server_configuration.properties file contains connection information for the
vCenter Operations Manager server on the host. runvcopsServerConfiguration uses the values in this file to
connect to a host.
Prerequisites
Become familiar with the properties in the vcops_parameters.properties and
vcops_server_configuration.properties files. See “vcops_parameters.properties File,” on page 150 and
“vcops_server_configuration.properties File,” on page 151.
Procedure
1 Open the vcops_parameters.properties file and set each property to the correct value, or the best estimate
of the correct value, for the vCenter Operations Manager server host.
2 Save your changes and close the vcops_parameters.properties file.
3 (Windows host only) Open the vcops_server_configuration.properties file and configure connection
information for the vCenter Operations Manager server host.
4 Save your changes and close the vcops_server_configuration.properties file.
