Introduction to the vCenter Adapter 1 The vCenter adapter is an embedded adapter for vCenter Operations Manager. The adapter collects metrics from vCenter Server.
VMware vCenter Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide n Datastore n Folder For information about the metrics that the adapter collects for these objects, see Chapter 5, “Metrics for vCenter Server Components,” on page 25. Using the VM Entity Status Resource Tag The vCenter adapter creates the VM Entity Status resource tag in the Custom user interface. The VM Entity Status resource tag values are NotExisting, PoweredOff, and PoweredOn.
Chapter 1 Introduction to the vCenter Adapter At a minimum, the user account must have Read privileges and the Read privileges must be assigned at the Datacenter or vCenter Server level. If the Read privileges are assigned to selected ESX hosts or individual virtual machines, vCenter Operations Manager cannot show metrics for their parent objects.

VMware vCenter Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide VC ID Values For vCenter Server 4.0 and later, the VC ID is set to the VC UUID. For version 2.5, the VC ID is set to the vCenter Server host name. 14 VMware, Inc.
Installing the vCenter Adapter 2 How you install the vCenter adapter depends on whether you have a standalone or vApp installation.
VMware vCenter Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide 7 Verify that the build number in the Adapter Version column for the adapter matches the build number in the TGZ file that you downloaded. Install the Adapter in a vApp Installation If you have a vApp installation, you install the vCenter adapter from a PAK file. Prerequisites n Download the adapter installation PAK file anonymously from ftp://ftp.integrien.com. n Make a note of the build number in the PAK file name.
Chapter 2 Installing the vCenter Adapter Table 2-1. vCenter Adapter Folders and Files Folder File Description conf describe.xml Describes the adapter. eventlist.txt Lists the events for which the adapter creates change events in vCenter Operations Manager. history.txt Contains information about the changes implemented in the adapter versions. rmi.properties RMI properties. version.txt Contains information about the adapter version. vm3.png VMware logo. vmware.

Configuring the vCenter Adapter 3 For pre-5.6 releases, you configure the vCenter adapter by adding a credential and an adapter instance in the Custom user interface. For 5.6 and later releases, you add a credential and an adapter instance in the Custom user interface only if you have a standalone installation. If you have a 5.6 or later vApp installation, you manage the vCenter adapter from vCenter Operations Manager Administration.
VMware vCenter Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide 7 Type the user name and password combination in the User name and Password text boxes. 8 Click OK to add the credential for the adapter kind. The credential appears in the list in the Manage Credentials window. Add an Adapter Instance You must use the Custom user interface to create an adapter instance for the vCenter adapter if you have a 5.6 or later standalone installation or a pre-5.6 standalone or vApp installation.
Troubleshooting the vCenter Adapter 4 Known troubleshooting information can help you diagnose and correct common problems with the vCenter adapter. This chapter includes the following topics: n “Troubleshooting a vCenter Adapter Instance,” on page 21 n “View Collection Information,” on page 21 n “Viewing System Log Files,” on page 23 Troubleshooting a vCenter Adapter Instance Perform these general troubleshooting steps to diagnose and correct problems with a vCenter adapter instance.
VMware vCenter Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide 5 Point to the icon in the Collection Status column to see whether vCenter Operations Manager is receiving data through the adapter instance. The collection status and a collection status message appear in a pop-up window. If vCenter Operations Manager is receiving data through the adapter instance, the collection status is Data Receiving. In vCenter Operations Manager 5.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the vCenter Adapter Collection Status Values The collection status value for a resource indicates whether vCenter Operations Manager is receiving data for the resource. Collection status values appear in a pop-up window when you point to an icon in the Collection Status column in the resource list on the Environment Overview page.
