Step 2: Register NSX-V vCenter in GigaVUE-FM
There is a one-to-one mapping between vCenters and NSX-V Managers. Both the vCenter registered with the NSX-V Manager and the NSX-V Manager must be added to GigaVUE-FM.
When the NSX-V Manager is registered in GigaVUE-FM, it registers the Gigamon Traffic Visibility Service in NSX-V as a Network Introspection Service. The Gigamon Traffic Visibility Service is used to install GigaVUE-VM Service Virtual Machines and define profiles for forwarding traffic to the GigaVUE visibility fabric.
To add the vCenter to GigaVUE-FM, do the following:
|
1.
|
From the left navigation pane, select Inventory > VIRTUAL > VMware > vCenter > Management. The Management page appears. |
|
2.
|
In the Virtual Center tab, click Add. The Add Virtual Center page displays.
 |
|
3.
|
On the Add Virtual Center page, do the following: |
|
o
|
In the Virtual Center field, Enter the DNS name or IP address of the vCenter server.
|
|
o
|
In the Username field, enter the VMware vCenter username that has a minimum of the Read Only role or higher. |
