vRealize Automation uses a proxy agent to manage vSphere resources.
Note Reservations defined for vCloud Air endpoints and vCloud Director endpoints do not support the
use of network profiles for provisioning machines.
For information about associating proxy settings to your endpoint, see Create a Proxy Endpoint and
Associate to a Cloud Endpoint.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as an IaaS administrator.
n
If you want to configure additional security and force connections to pass through a proxy server,
create a Proxy endpoint. You can associate to the Proxy endpoint as you create the vCloud Director
endpoint. See Create a Proxy Endpoint and Associate to a Cloud Endpoint.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Endpoints > Endpoints.
2 Select New > Cloud > vCloud Director.
3 Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
4 Enter the URL of the vCloud Director server in the Address text box.
The URL must be of the type FQDN or IP_address.
For example, https://mycompany.com.
5 Enter your administrator-level user name and password.
n
To connect to the vCloud Director server and specify the organization for which the user has the
administrator role, use organization administrator credentials. With these credentials, the
endpoint can access only the associated organization vDCs. You can add endpoints for each
additional organization in the vCloud Director instance to integrate with vRealize Automation.
n
To allow access to all Organization vDCs in the vCloud Director instance, use system
administrator credentials for a vCloud Director and leave the Organization text box empty.
