HP OneView for VMware vCenter - Manual (Page 8)

Configuring the Server Module for vCenter
After you install the Server Module for vCenter, you can manage Server Module features on the
Home Settings page in the vSphere Client.
To access the Home Settings page:
1.
Navigate to the vSphere Client home page.
2. Under Administration, click the HP Insight Management Administration icon.
The GUI Theme Selection page appears by default.
The home page allows you to access the following server administration pages through a drop-down
list.
•
Server Password Management
The Server Password page allows you to view and change current server passwords.
•
Server Module Configuration
The Server Module Configuration page provides event and polling configuration information.
Onboard Administrator Single Sign-On
To enable SSO, you must upload the Insight Control for vCenter certificate to the Onboard
Administrator.
1.
On the Onboard Administrator, navigate to Users/Authentication
→Local Users→HP SIM
Integration.
2. Set the trust mode to Trust by Certificate.
3. Locate and copy the certificate using one of the following methods:
•
In the vSphere Client, access the HP Home Settings page. See “Configuring the Server
Module for vCenter” (page 8) .
Click the Certificate Administration tab. Copy the text from the Self Signed Certificate text
box.
•
Access the certificate in the following file:
install location\share\server.pem
Open this file with a text editor, such as Notepad, and then copy the text.
4. Click the Onboard Administrator SIM Integration Certificate Upload tab, and then paste the
contents of the Insight Control for vCenter certificate into the box.
Associating the VMware host to iLO
In order for Insight Control for vCenter to display HP management information correctly, the VMware
host must be associated with its iLO. The method of iLO association varies, depending on the
version of Insight Control for vCenter and the VMware host configuration.
Automatic association
Automatic host-to-iLO association occurs when the following conditions are met:
•
Insight Control for vCenter Versions 6.3 and later must have HP Management Agents for
VMware ESX or the HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi installed on the host.
•
For Insight Control for vCenter Versions 6.2.2 and earlier, the association is derived from HP
SIM automatically if HP SIM is present in the environment. HP SIM may require that the HP
Management Agents for VMware ESX or the HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi are
installed on the host.
