Register vCenter with OMNI
Starting from 2.0 release, you have to register the vCenter instance with OMNI using the UI. You can register up to 10 vCenters
in a single OMNI VM.
Limitation
Before registering the vCenter, ensure that there is only one FQDN mapping for a vCenter IP address in the DNS entry. Multiple
DNS entries for the same IP address sometimes lead to vCenter registration failure.
To register the vCenter with OMNI:
1. Click OMNI Home > vCenter Instance.
2. Click Add to register the vCenter.
3. Enter the IP address or FQDN of the vCenter, username, and password.
4. Select the appropriate options for Registered and Automation options. By default, Registered and Automation is set to
True.
● Registered—Selecting True registers the vCenter with OMNI.
● Automation—Selecting True creates and starts the automation service for that vCenter.
