Configuring the VM Essentials manager for initial setup
Prerequisites
About this task
With VM Essentials manager up and running, you can now access the UI front end by pointing your web browser to the appliance URL that you set in a previous step. You’ll be presented with a workflow for the initial VM Essentials manager configuration where you’ll have to fill in the requested information.
Procedure
-
Fill in the Account Name for the Master Tenant.
This is just your organization’s name to set it up in the manager.
NOTE
HPE Morpheus VM Essentials does not support multi-tenancy, this is just an identifier for the manager to use. (Upgrade or refer to HPE Morpheus Enterprise to enable multi-tenancy capabilities.)
-
Enter the first user’s information.
This user will become the first System Administrator and will have all the permissions.
-
Enter a name for the VM Essentials manager appliance.
-
Toggle the Enable Backups toggle if you want automated manager database backups to be taken and if you want to enable the native virtual machine backup feature.
NOTE
Integrated backups will reside on the manager’s local storage by default, you should enable an external repository later.
-
Enter your license and select Complete Setup. If you don’t have a valid license or are just evaluating the solution, a 30 day evaluation period is activated by default.
- The main Appliance Setting screen opens with several configuration options. The next steps focus on the main items you’ll need to configure to create your first cluster.
- You need a pre-existing Group and Cloud to add your first HVM cluster. Groups define logical groupings of resources and users access those resources based on the Groups associated with their Roles. A Cloud can represent a grouping of HVM clusters or a connection into a VMware vCenter environment. You can read more on Groups and Clouds in the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software Documentation. This guide will go through the process of adding Private Cloud-type Clouds which house HVM clusters. For VMware-type Clouds, see the associated integration guide.
-
Create the first group.
-
Go to Infrastructure > Groups on the top menu.
-
Click Create.
-
Give the group a name and click Save Changes.
-
-
Create the first Cloud.
-
Go to Infrastructure > Clouds and click Add.
-
Select PRIVATE CLOUD.
NOTE
To add additional CLOUDs other than HVM or VMware, upgrade to HPE Morpheus Enterprise.
-
Assign a name and then click Next at the bottom.
-
Select your existing Group.
-
Review and complete the wizard.
