The NAS Extension software includes an adapter process (the HTTPS Adapter), which probes the Celerra devices using the HTTPS/XML probe to obtain internal topology information. While the installation of this adapter is automatic, you must install the service and start it manually. Install the HTTPS Adapter as a service and start the service manually, as described next for RHEL/CentOS.

Once started, the HTTPS Adapter registers with the Broker. The VMware Smart Assurance System Administration Guide provides more information about starting services.
