replication server)
Stop all services
Stops all vCenter Operations Manager-related services, as listed above.
Uninstall
Uninstalls vCenter Operations Manager. This uninstalls the components
installed by the vCenter Operations Manager installer—the vCenter
Operations Manager server, vCenter Operations Manager collector, and
analytics. It does not uninstall any adapters, or any vCenter Operations
Manager components on remote servers.
Install a vCenter Operations Manager Collector
To install the vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise collector on a remote host, follow the procedure below.
You may want to do this to distribute vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise activity for better performance.
Prerequisites
Log on as a user with enough privileges to create services. VMware recommends using an administrator user
name.
This procedure is written for Windows; follow similar steps for a Linux remote host.
Procedure
1 Log in to a remote host and navigate to the folder containing the vCenter Operations Manager executable
files.
2 Run the vcops.exe file.
The first page of the vCenter Operations Manager installation wizard appears.
3 Click Next.
4 On the Choose Install Set page, click the icon next to Collector and click Next.
5 On the Choose Install Folder page, click OK to accept the default installation folder, or click Browse and
select the installation folder you want.
The default installation folder is \vmware\vcenter-operations beneath the default program installation
folder for your system.
The Pre-installation Summary page lists the components that will be installed.
6 Click Next.
7 Click Install to begin the installation.
When this part of the process is finished (it may take several minutes), the Configuration Mode page
appears.
8 On the Configuration Mode page, select Basic.
9 In Collector Name, the default value is vCenter Operations Server, which is the same name as the local
collector.
Do not use the default. Enter a unique name for the collector.
10 In vCenter Operations Server Configuration, choose HTTP or HTTPS.
This sets the protocol to use for communicating heartbeat signals to the vCenter Operations Manager
server. This should match the protocol set on the vCenter Operations Manager Server.
11 In vCenter Operations Server Host, enter the IP address of the vCenter Operations Manager Server.
