Install CA Process Automation VMware vSphere Connector

Install the connector in the server where CA Process Automation is installed to connect to the vSphere client. The VMware vSphere Connector provides CA Process Automation access to a vCenter server using the vSphere API to perform functions such as creating and starting virtual machines.

Note: You can install the latest vSphere Connector(Version 4.0) that is shipped with the service cartridge.

Follow these steps:

1. Shut down the Domain Orchestrator.

   Note: To confirm that the Orchestrator you are shutting down is the Domain Orchestrator, examine the setting for oasis.server.isPrimary in the OasisConfig.properties file. The OasisConfig.properties file is found in <itpam_root_directory>\server\c2o\.config, where <itpam_root_directory> is the directory where CA IT PAM was installed. Verify that oasis.server.isPrimary=true.

   Go to the cartridge installation folder as noted in the worksheet, go to the vSphere Connector installer file.

2. Double-click the following program to start the connector installation.

   PAM_Connector_Installer_vSphere_4_0-w64.exe
