For network and security purposes, you can create and associate an NSX-V cloud account with a vCenter cloud account.
An NSX-V cloud account can only be associated to one vCenter cloud account.
The association between NSX-V and a vCenter cloud account must be configured outside of VMware Aria Automation, specifically in your NSX application. VMware Aria Automation doesn't create the association between NSX and vCenter. In VMware Aria Automation, you specify an association that already exists in NSX.
Prerequisites
- Verify that you have the required administrator credentials and have enabled HTTPS access on port 443. See Credentials required for working with cloud accounts in VMware Aria Automation.
- Verify that you have the cloud administrator user role. See What are the VMware Aria Automation user roles.
- Verify that you have a cloud proxy to use with this NSX cloud account. See Add a cloud proxy to a vCenter in Automation Assembler.
- Verify that you have a vCenter cloud account to use with this NSX cloud account. See Create a basic vCenter cloud account in VMware Aria Automation.
- Verify that the cloud proxy VM is on and that the cloud proxy service is connected and running. See Verify that a cloud proxy is running on a target virtual machine.
