Tenants log in to the VMware Cloud Director Availability Tenant Portal to operate workloads enabled for replications.

  • Alternatively, tenants can directly log in by using vSphere. For more information, see Access the VMware Cloud Director Availability vSphere Client Plug-In.
  • VMware Cloud Director-backed sites:
    VMware Cloud Director Availability allows logins by using the VMware Cloud Director credentials.
  • vSphere DR and Migration:
    VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.4 or later allows logins to vCenter Server sites, not backed by VMware Cloud Director by using the vSphere single-sign-on credentials.

Prerequisites

  • For VMware Cloud Director-backed sites:
    Verify that your VMware Cloud Director tenant user profile has Organization Administrator privileges.
  • Alternatively, for vSphere DR and migration:
    Verify that your vSphere tenant user profile has VRUSERS privileges and ensure that the user has sufficient privileges to see and interact with vSphere workloads.
For information about the required user roles privileges, see Users roles rights and sessions in the Security Guide.
