Hybrid Control Panel (v10)

Managing vCenter

VMware vCenter Server allows you to centrally manage your virtual infrastructure. With vCenter Server you can control your hosts and VMs from a single console and greatly enhance visibility, manageability and operations across on-premises environment and a vSphere based public cloud. The responsive HTML 5-based vSphere client provides you with an access to the key functions of vSphere from any browser. HC allows you to add a vCenter Server to its interface and manage the movement of virtual machines from one ESXi host to another. 

To manage vCenter, from top right corner of your screen, click and then go to Virtual Module Configuration >> vCenter Management.

vCenter Management page shows list of existing vCenters with additional information as:

  • Friendly Name - shows name of the vCenter Server. It is just a friendly name added for convenience and can be any name of your liking. It only serves as an identifier in the panel. 
  • Server URL - shows the URL of the vCenter Server machine. The URL comprises of the IP of the vCenter Server virtual machine which manages your virtual infrastructure e.g. https://vCenter-Instance-IP/sdk.
  • Virtual Machines - shows number of virtual machines managed by vCenter Server.
  • Associated Servers - shows associated server names.
  • Actions - allow admins to perform various actions like edit/delete vCenter Servers.
