Add a New SCVMM Server Connection to the Manager

You can add a SCVMM connection using the Administration tab of the CA Server Automation user interface.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the CA Server Automation user interface from the Start menu. Click Administration, Configuration.

    The Configuration page appears.

  2. Select SCVMM Server from the Provisioning section in the left pane.

    The right pane refreshes and displays the managed SCVMM Servers.

  3. Click add (Add) on the SCVMM Servers pane toolbar.

    The New SCVMM Server dialog appears.

  4. Enter the required connection data (server name, user, password) and click OK.

    If the network connection has been established successfully, the SCVMM Server is added to the top right SCVMM Servers pane with a green status icon. CA Server Automation discovers the SCVMM Server automatically.

    If the connection fails, the Validation Failed dialog appears. If you click Yes, CA Server Automation adds the SCVMM Server to the list with a red status icon indicating a connection failure. If you click No, nothing is added. For troubleshooting the connection, see Troubleshoot the SCVMM Server Connection.
