Adding vcenter?

Question

I'm sure this is an embarrassingly easy question-but after doing our initial install, which agent do I need to deploy to our VC to being gathering data? I can't seem to find in the install guide. Our vFolight/VC servers are both Windows 2008 R2.

Thanks,

Mark

Please refer this link on how to do it.

For you, you can start from Deploying VMware Performance Agent Packages to Monitored Hosts

Here are some good video from edocs.quest.com

Thank you for quick reply Lee. I was able to deploy the agent, but am receiving the following error when attempting to edit the properties or activate the Virtual Center:

I have verified the services are installed on my VC. The second is disabled, I did manually enable and start, but no difference.

It appears the agent is listed correctly with the Admin => Agent Status screen as well:

I know it´s super odd.. Please edit your first entry where you posted the images, remove and add them back (that has worked in the past).

Posting to a new reply doesn´t work.. Sorry about this but it will get fixed very soon!
