Configuring the UCS Manager

Enable XML API for the Cisco UCS Manager.
  1. Log in to the Cisco UCS Manager web console.
  2. Navigate to
    Admin
    Communication Management
    Communication Services
    .
  3. Verify that the HTTP & CIM XML services are enabled.
    If the
    Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
    option is enabled, you will need to use secure communication when configuring your
    SolutionPack
    block.
  4. If you want to use secure communications between the collector and the UCS Manager:
    • Choose the secure communication option when adding the UCS Manager.
    • Configure HTTPS on the
      Communication Services
      page of UCS Manager.
VMware recommends that you create a new dedicated service account for
SolutionPack
integration. Role-read-only role is sufficient for the
SolutionPack
to work properly.
