Connecting to the VMware server
To initiating a cloud run, first, you must establish the connection to the vCenter
server. On connecting to the server, you specify the properties of the workbench template such as
data center, resource pool, and domain that hosts the virtual machine. If you connect to the vCenter
server through the location template, you must also establish the connection through the Preferences
window by following the instructions in this topic.
Before you begin
- Ensure that you have downloaded the agent template and imported it to the vCenter server, as described in https://rptcloudmgr.rational.ibmcloud.com/vmware/.
- Ensure that you have an IBM ID.
- Ensure that you have a promotional code or a subscription ID. See About Promotional code and Subscription ID.
