Chapter 3: Administration and setup

This topic contains information about administration and setup activities in two

parts:

Basic setup

Basic setup is the process required to initiate the first Data Collection

operations to populate the data repository. Data Collection is the

enumeration of objects, such as VMs, on data sources, such as vCenter

Servers or ESX hosts, and the process of gathering configuration and

sample data from the enumerated objects.

Advanced setup

By using advanced setup, you can fine tune data collection, configure

SNMP and SMTP, and manage user access to SolarWinds Virtualization

Manager.

Basic setup

The result of basic setup is a well-populated repository of virtual infrastructure

information on which you can conduct searches, show data center trends, and

graph performance data. In order to reach this goal, at least one Configuration

Data and one Sample Data job must be scheduled and executed to completion

on a licensed server. This is done by specifying endpoints such as VMware

vCenter servers or unmanaged ESX hosts that need to be interrogated for virtual

machine information. To extract information from such endpoints, proper

credentials must be supplied to pass authentication requirements.

The Configuration Wizard guides you through the basic steps to enable your

SolarWinds Virtualization Manager installation for data collection.
