Procedure
1 Stop the DEM Worker service.
2 Open the following file in a text editor.
Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Distributed Execution Manager\instance-
name\DynamicOps.DEM.exe.config
3 Locate the <assemblyLoadConfiguration> section.
4 Update each path, using the following example as a guideline.
<assemblyLoadConfiguration>
<assemblies>
<!-- List of required assemblies for Scvmm -->
<add name="Errors" path="D:\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Virtual Machine Manager\bin"/>
<add name="Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager" path="D:\Microsoft System Center 2012
R2\Virtual Machine Manager\bin"/>
<add name="Remoting" path="D:\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Virtual Machine Manager\bin"/>
<add name="TraceWrapper" path="D:\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Virtual Machine Manager\bin"/>
<add name="Utils" path="D:\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Virtual Machine Manager\bin"/>
</assemblies>
</assemblyLoadConfiguration>
5 Save and close DynamicOps.DEM.exe.config.
6 Restart the DEM Worker service.
For more information, see DEM Workers with SCVMM.
Additional information about preparing the SCVMM environment and creating an SCVMM endpoint is
available in Configuring vRealize Automation.
Configuring Windows Service to Access the IaaS Database
A system administrator can change the authentication method used to access the SQL database during
run time (after the installation is complete). By default, the Windows identity of the currently logged on
account is used to connect to the database after it is installed.
Enable IaaS Database Access from the Service User
If the SQL database is installed on a separate host from the Manager Service, database access from the
Manager Service must be enabled. If the user name under which the Manager Service will run is the
owner of the database, no action is required. If the user is not the owner of the database, the system
administrator must grant access.
Prerequisites
n
Choosing an IaaS Database Scenario.
n
Verify that the user name under which the Manager Service will run is not the owner of the database.
