vCops dashboard tab not seen

[kisundar]

hi,

   I have downloaded and deployed an evaluation version of the vCOPs OVA on my vCenter (Version 5.1) and it shows only three tabs i.e.  Operations, Alerts and Environment. I don't find the dashboard tab that has been outlined in the usage videos.

The details of the vCOPS ova are:

     VMware vCenter Operations Manager 5.7.2 in Virtual Appliance

     2013-09-22 | 5.7.2 | 1.3G | ova

Thanks & Regards,

Kiran

Hi kisundar,

Welcome to VMware community.

Check this link

Have you applied the evaluation license?

hi Abhilash,

            Yes I have added the evaluation license. I configured the VCOPs OVA using the link VMware vCenter Operations Manager (VCOPS) Install and Configure - YouTube Even if you observe the 5th minute of the video recording, there is no dashboard tab available. So does that mean that there is no dashboard tab for evaluation versions. Is there any guide or document which describes the capabilities with regard to the evaluation version?

Cheers,

Kiran

When you use vCOPS in evaluation it works like a foundation version vCOPS. See the capabilities here VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite Editions for Virtualization and Cloud Infrastructure Mana...

Well I am able to see the "Dashboard" tab. It just needed me to clear the browser cache and login into the session to observe that the "Dashboard" is available post applying the license. Thanks for the help!
