Managing vCenter Server Settings
To make it easier for vSphere administrators to find and change the settings that affect the behavior or operation of a vCenter Server instance, VMware centralized these settings into a single area within the vSphere Web Client user interface. You'll see this Settings area on the Manage tab when you have a vCenter Server selected in the vSphere Web Client navigator. Here you can configure vCenter Server after installation with options that are not provided during installation. The Administration menu contains these items:
- General
- Licensing
- Message Of The Day
- Advanced Settings
The vCenter Server Settings area lets you change the settings that control how vCenter Server operates, as you'll see in the next section.
General vCenter Server Settings
The General vCenter Server Settings area contains 10 vCenter Server settings:
- Statistics
- Database
- Runtime Settings
- User Directory
- SNMP Receivers
- Ports
- Timeout Settings
- Logging Settings
- SSL Settings...
