Configuring the vSphere Solution
The vSphere solution is provided with vRealize Operations Manager. It includes the vCenter Server adapter.
To congure the vSphere solution, you congure one or more vCenter Server adapter instances, and
congure user access so that users can run actions.
Configure and manage
vCenter adapter instances in
one central workplace
Configure user access so that
users can run actions on objects
in vCenter Server from vRealize
Operations Manager
Enable/disable actions
Update the default monitoring policy
Register/unregister vCenter instances
Add vCenter adapter instances
Configure the vSphere Solution to
connect vRealize Operations Manager
to one or more vCenter instances
To begin, access
Administration > Solutions
Create roles with permissions to determine
who can access actions
Create user groups, and assign them
action-specific roles and access to adapter
instances
How Adapter Credentials Work
The vCenter Server credentials that you use to connect vRealize Operations Manager to a vCenter Server
instance, determines what objects vRealize Operations Manager monitors. Understand how these adapter
credentials and user privileges interact to ensure that you congure adapters and users correctly, and to
avoid some of the following issues.
n
If you congure the adapter to connect to a vCenter Server instance with credentials that have
permission to access only one of your three hosts, every user who logs in to
vRealize Operations Manager sees only the one host, even when an individual user has privileges on all
three of the hosts in the vCenter Server.
n
If the provided credentials have limited access to objects in the vCenter Server, even
vRealize Operations Manager administrative users can run actions only on the objects for which the
vCenter Server credentials have permission.
n
If the provided credentials have access to all the objects in the vCenter Server, any
vRealize Operations Manager user who runs actions is using this account.
Controlling User Access to Actions
You control user access for local users based on how you congure user privileges in
vRealize Operations Manager. If users log in using their vCenter Server account, then the way their account
is congured in vCenter Server determines their privileges.
