Register Supervisor with Tanzu Mission Control

Supervisor ships with a vSphere Namespace dedicated for Tanzu Mission Control. To register Supervisor with Tanzu Mission Control, install the TMC Agent in the vSphere Namespace and complete the registration process using TMC.

Complete this procedure to install the TMC Agent on Supervisor. Note that this procedure requires you to use the vSphere Client and TMC web interface simultaneously.
  1. Using the vSphere Plugin for kubectl, authenticate with Supervisor.
    kubectl vsphere login --server=IP-ADDRESS --vsphere-username USERNAME
  2. Switch context to the Supervisor, for example:
    kubectl config use-context 10.199.95.59
  3. Run the following command to list the namespaces.
    kubectl get ns
  4. The vSphere Namespace for TMC is named svc-tmc-cXX (where XX is a number). Verify that it exists and is active.
  5. Log in to the Tanzu Mission Control web interface.
  6. Register Supervisor with Tanzu Mission Control. See Register a Management Cluster with Tanzu Mission Control.
  7. Using the Tanzu Mission Control web interface, copy the Registration URL for Supervisor that is available at the Administration > Management Clusters page.
  8. If necessary, open a firewall port on Supervisor for the port required by Tanzu Mission Control (typically 443). See Outbound Connections Made by the Cluster Agent Extensions.
  9. Log in to the vSphere IaaS control plane environment using the vSphere Client.
  10. Select Workload Management and the target Supervisor.
  11. Select Configure and select TKG Service > Tanzu Mission Control.
  12. Paste the registration URL in the Registration URL field.
  13. Click Register.

The Tanzu Mission Control tab with the registration URL you entered.

Once Supervisor is registered with TMC, use the TMC web interface to provision and manage TKG clusters. Refer to the Tanzu Mission Control documentation for instructions.
