Targeting the vSphere server

Add a vSphere target system in Bravura Security Fabric (Manage the System > Resources > Target systems):

  • ID is a unique value, for example – VSPHERE

  • Type is VMware vSphere Server

  • Address uses the following settings:

    Server The server name or the IP address of the vSphere server.

    (key: server)

    Resource ID Specify the resource ID if you are targeting a specific resource instead of the top level server. You can obtain resource IDs from the resources list file.

    (key: resourceID)

    parentID Specifies a parent target that will be used for listing.

    (key: parentID)

    Validate the server’s certificate when connecting Determines whether to validate the server’s security certificate for SSL connections. Default is "true".

    (key: checkCert)

    The address is entered in KVGroup format:

    {server=<server>[;resourceID=ID][;parentID=ID][;checkCert=<true|false>];}

  • The target system’s administrative credentials are the login credentials for the VSphere server.

  • Appropriate privileges are required for the login; for example, the connector will only list the resources that the supplied credentials can view.

The full list of target parameters is explained in Target System Options .
