Register a UCS AIM Server

After adding a Cisco UCS component to the CA Virtual Assurance manager, add the AIM instance using the Administration page of the user interface to manage the Cisco UCS environment.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the CA Virtual Assurance user interface from the Start menu. Click Administration, Configuration.

   The Configuration page appears.

2. Select Cisco UCS from the Provisioning section in the left pane.
3. Click (Add) on the UCS AIM Servers pane toolbar.

   The Add Cisco Unified Computing System AIM Server dialog appears.

4. Select the UCS AIM Server from the drop-down list.

   The list of UCS AIM Servers appears.

5. Select the Cisco UCS Server from the drop-down list.

   CA Virtual Assurance populates the Cisco UCS Server drop-down list with the servers listed in the Cisco UCS pane. You can only manage those UCS Servers for which your CA Virtual Assurance manager has a valid connection established.

   Note: If the AIM resides on a remote system, CA Virtual Assurance must discover the system first. After the Discovery, the AIM server appears in the drop-down list.

6. Click OK.

   A new AIM instance for the selected Server is registered.

   Note: If the instance is not in an error or in a stopped state, CA Virtual Assurance starts to discover the associated environment. When the Discovery process is complete, you can start managing the Cisco UCS environment.
