Add a VCE Vblock Connection to the Manager

You can add a VCE Vblock Unified Infrastructure Manager (UIM) server connection to the CA Server Automation manager using the Administration tab of the 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 VCE Vblock from the Provisioning section in the left pane.
3. Click (Add) on the UIM Servers pane toolbar.

   The Add UIM Server dialog appears.

4. Enter the required connection data (server name, username, password, port, and protocol), specify the preferred AIM, and enable Managed Status (checkbox).
5. Click OK.

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

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