 VMware.View.Library.mp contains class and relationship definitions for the managed objects in View.
See “Class and Relationship Definitions” on page 71.
 VMware.View.Image.Library.mp contains the graphics that represent the classes that are defined in
VMware.View.Library.mp.
Name a View Connection Server Group
You can assign a name to a group of one or more View Connection Server hosts and security servers. The
Operations Manager console displays this name to help you identify the group within SCOM.
To name the View Connection Server group
On one of the View Connection Server hosts in the group, use the -C and -c options with the vdmadmin
command.
vdmadmin -C -c group_name
For example, set the name of a View Connection Server group to VCSG01.
vdmadmin -C -c VCSG01
Import the View MPs
When you install the View Connection Server software, the View MPs are also loaded onto the View
Connection Server instance or security server. You can copy the View MPs to a SCOM server and use the
Import Management Packs wizard from the Operations Manager console to import them.
To import the View MPs on a SCOM server
1 Copy the View MPs from their installation directory (usually C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware
View\Server\extras\ManagementPacks) on a View Connection Server instance or security server to
the SCOM server.
2 In the Operations Manager console, right click Administration\Management Packs, and select Import
Management Packs.
3 Use the Import Management Packs wizard to import the View MPs.
4 (Optional) Run the discovery script manually for the systems on which the View software is installed.
More more information, see “Run the Discovery Script” on page 67.
View Discovery Script
The VMware.View.Discovery MP contains a script that finds View installed systems. The discovery script
probes the registries of Windows servers for entries that indicate the version of the View software, the type of
server, and the name and ID of the View Connection Server group. If the script detects that a View server is
installed on a computer, it creates instances of the object classes that are defined in the VMware.View.Library
MP and establishes the relationships between these managed objects.
The script can only discover a Windows server if you have used the Operations Manager console to enable the
proxy agent for the server. See “Enable a Proxy Agent on a Server” on page 70.
The discovery script is scheduled to run once every hour. You can also perform the discovery manually from
the Operations Manager console. See “Run the Discovery Script” on page 67.
You can verify the objects that the discovery agent has created for a server by viewing them in the Operations
Manager console. See “Display Discovered Objects” on page 67.
The agent discovers the following managed objects for a Connection Server.
