Configuring Application Discovery Manager
for Integration
Integration between VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager (ADM), and VMware vCenter
Configuration Manager (VCM) provides VCM-rich relationship and configuration details. The views
include the devices dependencies and underlying infrastructure configurations.
Configuring the integration between ADM and VCM requires the following:
n
Configure ADM for Integration: The ADM configuration process is primarily comprised of installing
an external ADM database on the VCM Collector (or SQL database) machine, and then configuring the
synchronization of data from the main ADM database to the external ADM SQL database. VCM
integrates with the synchronized data in the external database.
n
Configure VCM for Integration: The integration with ADM is built into VCM. Configuring
integration in VCM requires only the configuration of the settings.
Before VCM users have access to the ADM data, the Application Discovery Manager integration with
VCM requires the following:
n
ADM External Database: An external SQL database is installed on the VCM database machine.
n
Synchronization: The main ADM database must be configured to synchronize data with the external
ADM database.
n
Client Browsers: Install Internet Explorer and Java on the VCM client machines.
n
User Accounts: Create one or more ADM user accounts to be used by VCM users to access ADM.
These requirements are described next. After the integration is complete, you can access ADM data while
working in VCM. The final section of this manual provides instructions for launching ADM details and
ADM maps.
Installing the ADM SQL Database
VCM does not directly access the main ADM database. Rather, an external Microsoft SQL database is
installed on the VCM Collector machine (or on the database machine, in the case of split installations).
Detailed instructions for installing and configuring the external MS SQL database are provided in the
VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager: Repository Reference Guide. Review that manual and follow
the directions in it for installing and configuring the SQL database. Then use this integration guide for
additional configuration information unique to the VCM integration.
When modifying the installation scripts, be sure to replace <serverName> with the name of the SQL
Server instance running the VCM database.
