Configuring an already registered Agent for VMware

This section describes how to associate Agent for VMware with a vCenter Server or ESXi in the web interface. As an alternative, you can do this in the Agent for VMware (Virtual Appliance) console.

By using this procedure, you can also change the existing association of the agent with a vCenter Server or ESXi. Alternatively, you can do this in the Agent for VMware (Virtual Appliance) console or by clicking Settings > Agents > the agent > Details > vCenter/ESXi.

To configure Agent for VMware

1. Click All devices > Add.
2. Click VMware ESXi.

3. The software shows the unconfigured Agent for VMware that appears first alphabetically.

   If all of the agents registered on the management server are configured, click Configure an already registered agent, and the software will show the agent that appears first alphabetically.

4. If necessary, click Machine with agent and select the agent to be configured.
5. Specify or change the host name or IP address of the vCenter Server or the ESXi host, and credentials to access it. We recommend using an account that has the Administrator role assigned. Otherwise, provide an account with the necessary privileges on the vCenter Server or ESXi.
6. Click Configure to save the changes.
