vCenter AIM Instance Status Icon Shows Disabled

Symptom:

After CA Server Automation discovers vCenter AIM instances in the network, the status icons of several instances show (Disabled). This vCenter AIM instance is not managed.

This status appears if CA Server Automation has discovered a vCenter AIM with the following relationships:

• The vCenter AIM is configured for a vCenter Server that has a valid connection to the CA Server Automation manager but is in unmanaged state.
• The AIM is connected to a vCenter Server that has not been configured in the vCenter Servers pane.

Solution:

To change the status of the AIM instance to ready, do one of the following:

• Add the missing vCenter Server connection to the CA Server Automation manager.
• Edit the existing vCenter Server connection and change its managed status to enabled.
