I have a new install of the webspere client.
I have a a fresh install of esxi 5.5
I am trying to manage the new host throught the web client. How do I add this host to the web client?
That seems to be the Problem, The administrator@vc55 is you machine administrator account. login with these and check?
username : Administrator@vsphere.local
Password : SSO master password
You will need to connect to a vCenter Server with the vSphere Web Client. From there you create a datacenter, and you can add hosts/clusters to it.
Morning check this document page 86 vCenter Server and Host Management - VMware Documentation
Hope it helps
Let me know if you have more questions
Thank you for your response but , I don't see a link to the document.
I found the document.
I will let you know if I have any additional questions.
Thanks
Step 1 to Add a Host in the vSphere Web Client
1. In the vSphere Web Client, navigate to a datacenter, cluster, or folder within a datacenter.
When I navigate to datacenters in the web client there are no objects.
So I go to the "Create Datacenters" section of thedocumentation.
Prerequisites
Open a vSphere Client session to a vCenter Server.
Does this mean connect using the vspere client instead of the web client?
Is it possible to add a datacenter from the web client?
Yes , you could do the same via web client or a direct connection to the Host using the vsphere client.
Thanks,
Avinash
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, navigate to the vCenter Server object.
2 Select Actions > New Datacenter.
3 Rename the datacenter and click OK.
Maybe I am being dense but I don't see a vCenter Server object in the web client.
I do see a vCenter Servers under inventory lists but I don't see anywhere to select action.
Am I looking in the right place?
Click the Home icon at the top of the vSphere Web Client. Then under the Inventories section, click Hosts and Clusters on the Home tab. In the left pane, right-click on the root vCenter Server object. Select New Datacenter from the context menu.
When I click on Hosts and Clusters it says "Empty Inventory"
This is my problem. I think I am misssing a basic first step.
Hi,
I think may be permission issues.? what credentials are you logging in with is it
Administrator@vsphere.local.?
Then you will get a screen as such
Then you should be able to get to the screen pasted by Vmroyale
Thanks,
Avinash
my computer name is vc55
I logged off and logged back on with administrator@vc55
login was successful
I get the screen below but when I click on "Hosts and Clusters" it still says "Inventory Empty"
I used the "Simple install" when I installed v-center. Is that the problem?
That seems to be the Problem, The administrator@vc55 is you machine administrator account. login with these and check?
username : Administrator@vsphere.local
Password : SSO master password
HOw do I connect to a vCenter Server with the vSphere Web Client?
I do not understand this question ....??
Your previous post answered my question and resolved my issue.
Thank you very much!!
your welcome and Happy learning..!!!
It looks like maybe you haven't configured SSO yet? If not, check out:http://www.derekseaman.com/2013/10/vsphere-5-5-install-pt-12-configure-sso.html
You can probably skip the Configure SSO STS Chain section, but make sure you login as administrator@vsphere.local to the vSphere Web Client. Once you complete the SSO setup, add your domain account as an Administrator the vCenter inventory object, as shown here - note the administrator@vsphere.local account is circled in red:
