Applies to: OpsLogix VMware Management Pack (all versions) · SCOM 2019, 2022, 2025 · vCenter 7.0, 8.0, 9.0

Goal

Change the settings of an existing vCenter or ESXi connection, such as the account or password, or remove the connection.

Prerequisites

  • At least one vCenter or ESXi connection is already set up.
  • Access to the Administration workspace in the SCOM Operations Console.

Steps

  1. Go to Administration > OpsLogix MP Configuration > VMware MP Configuration and open the Add/Remove Connections tab.
  2. In the Resource Pool list, select the resource pool that the connection belongs to. Show All Connections is selected by default. Clear it to see only the connections of the selected resource pool.
  3. Select the connection you want to change or remove.
  4. To change the connection:
    1. Edit the values. Don't change the Name: a different name creates a new connection and leaves the old one in place. To rename a connection, add a new one and remove the old one.
    2. Click Check Connection to test the connection through the servers in the selected resource pool.
    3. If the test succeeds, click Add/Update.
  5. To delete the connection, click Remove and confirm. If you scaled out the connection, first clear Enable scale out and click Add/Update. Remove only deletes the main connection, so otherwise its scale-out objects (named <connection>--GROUP01 and so on) stay in SCOM.

Repeat these steps for each vCenter or ESXi connection you want to change.

If you added new hosts: assign licenses to them on the Assign tab. Click Refresh to list all ESXi hosts, select the hosts you want to monitor and click Update.

If you removed a connection: on the Assign tab, click Refresh and then Update so the license overview and the collectors are up to date.

Verify it worked

Check that the connection list on the Add/Remove Connections tab shows your changes, or that the removed connection is gone. For a changed connection, Check Connection should succeed.
