n
The credentials used to manage the endpoint representing an RHEV environment must have
administrator privileges on the RHEV environment. When you use RHEV for provisioning, the DEM
Worker communicates with and collects data from that account.
n
The credentials must also have enough privileges to create objects on the hosts within the
environment.
DEM Workers with SCVMM
A vRealize Automation IaaS DEM Worker that manages virtual machines through System Center Virtual
Machine Manager (SCVMM) must meet additional requirements, in addition to those for all IaaS Windows
servers and DEMs in general.
n
Install the DEM Worker on the same machine with the SCVMM console.
A best practice is to install the SCVMM console on a separate DEM Worker.
n
The DEM worker must have access to the SCVMM PowerShell module installed with the console.
n
The PowerShell Execution Policy must be set to RemoteSigned or Unrestricted.
To verify the PowerShell Execution Policy, enter one of the following commands at the PowerShell
command prompt.
help about_signing
help Set-ExecutionPolicy
n
If all DEM Workers within the instance are not on machines that meet these requirements, use Skill
commands to direct SCVMM-related workflows to DEM Workers that are.
vRealize Automation does not support a deployment environment that uses an SCVMM private cloud
configuration. vRealize Automation cannot currently collect from, allocate to, or provision based on
SCVMM private clouds.
The following additional requirements apply to SCVMM.
n
vRealize Automation supports SCVMM 2012 R2, which requires PowerShell 3 or later.
n
Install the SCVMM console before you install vRealize Automation DEM Workers that consume
SCVMM work items.
If you install the DEM Worker before the SCVMM console, you see log errors similar to the following
example.
Workflow 'ScvmmEndpointDataCollection' failed with the following exception: The
term 'Get-VMMServer' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script
file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
To correct the problem, verify that the SCVMM console is installed, and restart the DEM Worker
service.
n
Each SCVMM instance must be joined to the domain containing the server.
