To discover the host and
the VMs, you just need to provide the IP Address and https credentials
of the host. The VMs are automatically discovered along with the host.
Before proceeding ensure that you have configured
the VMware credentials for the
Host,
and SNMP and WMI credentials for the VMs in the Credential Library. To
configure the credentials
Similarly, add the credentials for the VMs. Select
the Credential Type as WMI for Windows and SNMP for non-Windows OS.
To discover the host:
OpManager, with the help of installed VMware Tools, identifies the
IP address of the VM and maps it to the host. In case the VMware Tools
are not installed, OpManager discovers it using VM's entity name. You
can assign the IP address for such VMs in the host snapshot page
(screenshot of the same is given below). Click on the 'No IP Address'
link corresponding to the VM to assign the IP address for that VM.
Similarly, you can click the assigned IP address to choose another one
as the primary IP for that particular VM.
You can now choose to monitor only the required VMs on a Host. OpManager discovers all the VMs during the initial discovery and you will find them listed under the inventory in the host snapshot page. Click on the relevant icon to monitor the required VMs on the host. OpManager maintains this configuration when a HA, VMotion, or rediscovery happens.
