Managing a VMware Server through vCenter 4

[klausnimble]

I am trying to add a standalone VMware server (2.0.1) to a vCenter 4.0 server that manages a bunch of ESX/ESXi 4.0 hosts.

After having added the license server for VI3, I finally get to the point where I can "Add Host..." and point it to the VMware server.

After asking about resource pools and presenting a summary, it ends with "vCenter does not support hosts of this type (VMware server 2.0.1)".

But from descriptions it sounded like it would support it? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Klaus

I do not think VMware Server can be managed by vCenter4...

Hello and welcome to the forums.

It can't be done. Check this discussion for more information.

Good Luck!

Thanks for pointing me to the right thread - looks indeed like it will not be possible.
