Ops Center Automator services can perform remote functions on VMware vCenter servers. A connection setting is required for the VMware vCenter server. This type of connection enables Ops Center Automator Services to create data stores in a VMware environment. The Admin role is generally required to set up the connection. For exceptions, see each service catalog topic.

  1. From the Administration tab, click Connection Settings > Web Service Connections.
  2. Click Add and enter the following information:
    • Category: Select vCenter.
    • Name
    • IP Address/Host Name
    • Protocol: https (Cannot be changed)
    • Port: 443 (Cannot be changed)
    • User ID
    • Password
  3. Enter assigned infrastructure groups.
  4. Click OK.
  5. (Optional) After specifying the details for setting up a Web Service connection, you can test the connection with the values you specified by clicking Test. After starting the test, a notification balloon appears above the Test button indicating whether the connections completed successfully. To stop the testing process, click Stop Test.
  6. (Optional) Verify the status of the current connections from the Web Service Connections window, which shows the status (Successful, Error, and Unknown) and the time when the connection was last established. To update the display of current connection, click Refresh.
