After you activate the management pack, add ping adapters for the vRealize Operations Manager nodes to verify the availability of end points. You add two Ping adapters for the vRealize Operations Manager - one Ping adapter for the analytics cluster nodes and another Ping adapter for the remote collector nodes.

UI Procedure

  1. Log in to the vRealize Operations Manager operations interface at https://<vrealize_operations_manager_fqdn> with a user assigned the Administrator role.
  2. In the left pane, navigate to Data sources > Integrations.

  3. In the Accounts tab, click Add account.

  4. On the Account types page, click the Ping card.

  5. On the Add account page, configure the settings for the vRealize Operations Manager analytics cluster nodes according to your values in the VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook, and optionally, enter a description.

  6. On the Add account page, click Validate connection.

  7. In the Info dialog box, click OK.

  8. Click Add.

  9. On the Accounts tab, verify that the collection status of the Ping adapter is OK. 

  10. Repeat this procedure for the vRealize Operations Manager remote collector nodes according to your values in the VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook.

PowerShell Procedure

  1. Start Windows PowerShell.

  2. Replace the values in the sample code with values from your VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook and run the commands in the PowerShell console.

    $sddcManagerFqdn = "sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io"
$sddcManagerUser = "administrator@vsphere.local"
$sddcManagerPass = "VMw@re1!"

$defaultCollectorGroup = "Default collector group"
$vropsIpList = "192.168.11.30,192.168.11.31,192.168.11.32,192.168.11.33"
$vropsAdapterName = "xint-vrops01-cluster"

$remoteCollectorGroup = "sfo-remote-collectors"
$vropsrcIpList = "192.168.31.31,192.168.31.32"
$vropsrcAdapterName = "sfo-m01-remote-collectors"

  3. Perform the configuration by running the command in the PowerShell console.

    Add-vROPSAdapterPing -server $sddcManagerFqdn -user $sddcManagerUser -pass $sddcManagerPass -addressList $vropsIpList -adapterName $vropsAdapterName -collectorGroupName $defaultCollectorGroup
Add-vROPSAdapterPing -server $sddcManagerFqdn -user $sddcManagerUser -pass $sddcManagerPass -addressList $vropsrcIpList -adapterName $vropsrcAdapterName -collectorGroupName $remoteCollectorGroup
