Complete all the prerequisites required so that cloud proxy can communicate with vCenter Server.

  • Port 443 in the ESXi where the workload end points VMs are deployed must be accessible to cloud proxy.
  • Port 443 in Platform Services Controller and vCenter Server is accessible to cloud proxy. Open this port if vCenter Server is configured with an external Platform Services Controller.
  • Configure a vCenter adapter. The vCenter Server user should have read access at the vCenter Server level and should also have the following permissions: Guest operation modifications, Guest operation program execution, and Guest operation queries.
    Note: For script-based agent install and uninstall, the Guest operation modifications, Guest operation program execution, and Guest operation queries permissions are not required.
