Verify that your vRealize Automation DEMs are installed on a machine that meets the Openstack or
PowerVC requirements. See Installation and Configuration.
Procedure

2 Select New Endpoint > Cloud > OpenStack.
3 Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
4 Type the URL for the endpoint in the Address text box.

PowerVC The URL must be of the format https://FQDN/powervc/openstack/service.
For example:
https://openstack.mycompany.com/powervc/openstack/admin.
Openstack The URL must be of the format FQDN:5000 or IP_address:5000. Do not include

If you set up multiple endpoints with different Red Hat OpenStack tenants, create reservation policies
for each tenant. This ensures that machines are provisioned to the appropriate tenant resources.

What to do next
Add the compute resources from your endpoint to a fabric group.
