Advanced configuration for VMware Infrastructure 3 platforms and Intelligent Management

The retrieveVMwareCertificate.py script can complete all of the steps that are needed to configure VMware Infrastructure 3 platforms and Intelligent Management. However, you can also complete these steps manually by creating the signer certificate and required custom properties in the administrative console.

Before you begin

  • Your VMware Infrastructure 3 platforms environment must be on servers that are running Solaris Operating Environment on Intel hardware, Windows, or Linux x86 operating systems.
  • You must use VMware products that support VMware Infrastructure 3 platforms. The supported versions are:
    • VMware VirtualCenter Version 2.5
    • VMware ESX Versions 5.0 and 5.5
    • VMware vSphere Version 5.0 andVersion 5.5 all of which include VMware ESXi and VMware vCenter Server
    The documentation generically refers to these servers with the following terminology:
    • ESX server: Refers to VMware ESX Versions 5.0 and 5.5 or a VMware ESXi server in VMware vSphere Version 5.0 and Version 5.5.
    • vCenter server: Refers to VMware VirtualCenter Version 2.5 or a VMware vCenter server in VMware vSphere Version 5.0 and Version 5.5.

About this task

You can retrieve a signer certificate with a script or in the administrative console, and then define the required custom properties in the administrative console. You can also complete these steps with the script only. For more information, read about configuring VMware Infrastructure 3 platforms and Intelligent Management.
