Configure the vSphere solution
The next step in installing vRealize Operations is to connect it to your vCenter(s), and the way to do this is to configure the VMware vSphere Solution.
Solutions are how vRealize connects to resources to manage them. A solution is usually delivered by way of a separately installed Management Pack. The VMware vSphere Solution is, however, installed automatically during the initial installation of vRealize Operations Manager, so there is no further code installation required, just configuration.
Tip
The End Point Operations solution is also installed automatically during vRealize Operations installation. We will cover other solutions in Chapter 7, vRealize Operations Manager Solutions and the End Point Operations solution in detail in Chapter 10, End Point Operations.
Solutions, or Management Packs, usually contain the following:
- Adapter(s): A plug in to vRealize Operations that connects to the resource being managed, and collects metrics and properties.
- Dashboards...
