Chapter 3: Administration and setup

To run the Configuration Wizard:

1. Log on to SolarWinds Virtualization Manager.

2. Click Setup.

3. Click Configuration Wizard on the left menu.

Filling in the SolarWinds registration

The first step in basic setup requires you to register your software. Enter the email

address you provided when registering to download the software. A valid email

address is required to continue.

Configuring credentials

The next step in the Configuration Wizard is to enter a set of credentials that will

be used to access the data sources you just defined. Depending on the intended

usage, provide the following types of credentials:

l Administrator credentials to any Virtual Center endpoints.

l Root credentials to ESX hosts (whether managed or unmanaged).

l Windows Domain Administrator credentials for Hyper-V hosts or virtual

machines which are Windows Domain members and also open to data

collection via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

Note: Instead of assigning credentials to each data source, in SolarWinds

Virtualization Manager, you enter all of your credentials in one place. During the

initial data collection, SolarWinds Virtualization Manager attempts to authenticate

each credential with a data source until it finds one that works. That credential is

then automatically cached with an association to that data source.

Click Add to enter a new credential. For each credential set, provide the following

information:

l Credential Type: Select Virtual Center, Host, or Hyper-V and WMI

depending on the intended usage of this credential.
