After you have specified all necessary information, click Add. If you have not previously connected to this virtual server, a prompt is displayed asking you to verify the server's certificate.
To review the certificate information, click Details. If you are satisfied that you are connecting to the correct virtual server, click Accept. The server's certificate thumbprint will be stored and you will not have to repeat this verification process the next time you initiate a connection to this server. After a connection is made, the program will search for all ESXi Hypervisors being managed by the vCenter Server and for all virtual machines hosted on the ESXi Hypervisor(s) and use that information to populate the table. |
