Hi Janya, I followed most of the steps in the VMware documentation on the integration portion. During creating the connection in VCOPS, I input the following under Database Instance (Optional) section. <Database instance name>,useNTLMv2=true For the rest of the parameters, I filled up them as usual. Hope this helps.

Hi guys, I would like to clarify with you guys if the value for parameters in VMX file is case sensitive? Example Is isolation.tools.copy.disable = "TRUE" and isolation.tools.copy.disable = "true" interpreted by ESXi as having the same meaning? Will it works regardless of the value "TRUE" or "true"? Thanks

It seems that the on cluster level, the usable capacity still includes the datastore with the excluding policy. The cluster probably take the setting from the policy associated with it. I did not notice any changes in the capacity remaining score and no of available VMs remaining after one week.
Yes, we are using usable capacity for all of our policies. Is it why we are allowed to set buffer up to only 99%? I will check again on the capacity planning portion. Another question: ... See more...
Yes, we are using usable capacity for all of our policies. Is it why we are allowed to set buffer up to only 99%? I will check again on the capacity planning portion. Another question: If buffer is set on the datastore, will it be reflected on the cluster level in terms of usable capacity or the cluster's usable capacity is calculated based the buffer set in the cluster associated policy?
Hi Mark, Thanks for replying. I have configured a specific policy for the datastore although VCOPS only allow me to set the buffer to max 99%. I associated the policy to the datastore. On d... See more...
Hi Mark, Thanks for replying. I have configured a specific policy for the datastore although VCOPS only allow me to set the buffer to max 99%. I associated the policy to the datastore. On datastore leve, I can see the effective policy is that specific policy. On cluster level, I am still seeing the usable capacity as same as before creation of the policy. Am I missing something or it takes time for VCOPS to re-calculate?

Hi guys, We are deploying VCOPS and configuring it. Our environment consist of two ESXi clusters with two datatstores each. On top of that, there is a datastore (named data1) presented to both clusters for ISO files storage purpose. It seems that datastore (data1) is duplicated in VCOPS as it's capacity is reflected on both clusters and it is affecting our capacity remaining calculations. Is there a way to exclude that datastore from VCOPS capacity remaining calculation?
I have resolved the problem. Thanks for the help guys.
Hi guys, We managed to resolve the above error but get the attached errors. Any help?

Hi guys, I have some problems with our VCOPS to VCM integration. Would like to seek your advice or help. We have a deployed a VCOPS 5.8.1 vApp and VCM 5.7.1 (two-tier spilt install with MSSQL 2012) in our environment. Initially we tried to register VCM to VCOPS with windows authentication but it do not work out. So we register it using SQL authentication. Tested the connection successfully and completed the registration. This is what we have configured for the registration. Display name: VCMDB VCM server address: <ip address> Port Number:1435 VCM database: VCMDB VCM instance: <blank> User: vcmconnect Password: <Password> Authentication: SQL Authentication Domain: <Blank> On the VCM, we have granted the SQL login datareader permission to VCM and VCM_UNIX databases. We also configured and scheduled the collection of vCenter virtualization data, compliance template run and compliance badge mapping run. We are able to see the score on VCM. From the registration until now, no data is collected on VCOPS. any help? We look at the collector.log at /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/log insecondvm-external and got the following error 2014-08-21 15:16:49,752 ERROR [Collector worker thread 23] (289) com.integrien.adapter3.util.DBUtil.openConnection - Got exception org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQL NestedException: Cannot get a connection, pool exhausted, Couldn't obtain connection from: jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://<ip address>:1435/VCMDB;instance=VCMDB 2014-08-21 15:16:49,754 ERROR [Collector worker thread 23] (289) com.integrien.adapter3.vcm.VCMAdapter.onCollect - Unable to obtain vCM version, will try again java.lang.Exception: cannot connect to db         at com.integrien.adapter3.util.DBUtil.getVCMVersion(DBUtil.java:553)         at com.integrien.adapter3.vcm.VCMAdapter.onCollect(VCMAdapter.java:109)         at com.integrien.alive.common.adapter3.AdapterBase.collectBase(AdapterBase.java:644)         at com.integrien.alive.common.adapter3.AdapterBase.collect(AdapterBase.java:457)         at com.integrien.alive.collector.CollectorWorkItem3.run(CollectorWorkItem3.java:47)         at com.integrien.alive.common.util.ThreadPool$WorkerItem.run(ThreadPool.java:239)         at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source)         at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source)         at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Message was edited by: chan82
Hi, I have managed to complete the configuration. Previously we failed due to windows authentication. We switched to SQL authentication and it works. Thanks guys,

Hi guys, I have managed to complete the installation using SQL server alias. thanks.
The format does work from SQL Server Management Studio and I can access the database using the tool remotely and locally. Do we need to create aliases then?

Hi guys, I am deploying VCM 5.7.1 and have installed an SQL server 2012 instance in my database server listening on TCP 1434. On my web and collector server, I run the setup and when prompted to specify the database server and instance, I input servername for server and instance,1434 for database instance. I got a verification failure. May I check with you guys if I am specifying in the correct format or it is a requirement that the database instance has to be listening on default port, 1433? Thanks
