1. About vCloud Integration Manager

VMware vCloud® Integration Manager™ (vCIM), designed for vCloud service providers, helps accelerate time to revenue and increase the operational efficiency of infrastructure-as-a- service (IaaS) cloud offerings, based on VMware vCloud Director™.

vCIM gives you the flexibility to rapidly create and manage new and existing services offerings for maximum profitability, selling them to the right mix of customers through the right channels.

Service providers can manage the end-to-end lifecycle of customers with onboarding, trials, provisioning, and decommissioning of cloud services. Customers are delivered cloud products and services with minimal operational overhead. In addition, service providers can now define and manage the lifecycle of products that they wish to sell to their customers. Resellers can utilize the same functionality for their specific customers and services.

The information in this document is intended for anyone who wants to set up vCIM. You should be familiar with the vSphere Client, the vCloud Director Web console, and deploying virtual appliances.

A vCloud Director 1.5 Service Provider account for a vCloud Director managed cloud environment

Requires a cloud environment managed by vCloud Director 1.5. vCIM will connect to this environment to provision your customers and their resources.

The vCloud Director Service Provider account will be configured in the vCIM appliance and all API calls made from the appliance will be in the security context of this account.

System capacity The system must have capacity to run the vCIM appliance (a minimum of 2vCPU and 4GB memory).

Browser compatibility Firefox 4 and later

Internet Explorer 8 and later

Safari 5 and later

2.2 Download the vCIM virtual appliance

1. Refer to your VSPP product guide or partner contact to download and save the vCIM virtual appliance zip file. The download may require you to log in with your VMware store account.

2. Unzip the OVF files and deploy them to the virtual infrastructure where you intend to run the vCIM appliance.

3. Power on the vCIM virtual machine.

4. Open up a console window and, when prompted, enter:

An email address for the service provider

A company name (record your company name since you will need it to log into the vCIM portal as described in Confirm the vCIM portal installation)

5. Press Enter.

The Welcome screen appears.


Administrator Guide


of 25

2.3 Configure in the Welcome screen

1. Note the “service provider portal” address of your vCloud Integration Manager installation as listed in the body of the Welcome screen (for example https://10.20.140.21). You will need this address to access the vCIM portal as described in Confirm the vCIM portal installation.

2. At the bottom left of the Welcome screen:

a. Highlight Login and press Enter to configure your login passwords:

i. Log in as root with the default password vmware, and then enter a new password.

ii. Log in as admin with the default password vmware, and then enter a new password.

b. Highlight Configure Network and press Enter to configure your network preferences, for example IP address, or DNS information.

c. Highlight Set Timezone and press Enter to configure your time zone.

2.4 RabbitMQ configuration in vCloud Director

1. Configure the vCloud Director installation to use the RabbitMQ exchange on the vCIM appliance for event notifications. (For information, refer to the vCloud Director Administrator's Guide 1.5 topic “Configure an AMQP Broker,” available at http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs.)

2. (Optional) To change the RabbitMQ Exchange password, see the section Passwords.



Administrator Guide

2.5 Confirm the vCIM portal installation

1. Open a browser and enter your service provider portal address (as noted in Configure in the Welcome screen).

2. Log into the vCIM portal with these credentials:

Company: [name of company] (as noted in Download the vCIM virtual appliance)

Username (default): spadmin

Password (default): vmware

Note VMware recommends that you change this user name and password later (see About Administrator Roles).

2.6 Configure vCIM to connect with your vCloud Director instance

On your first login to the vCIM portal you should see a wizard where you can complete this configuration.

Note It is important that you complete this step or you will encounter system errors. If the wizard is not visible, click on Settings in the top right corner.

The wizard will guide you through a process to select the provider virtual datacenters, provider networks, and network pools that will be used by vCIM to onboard cloud services for your customers and resellers.

Note Administrators should not remove the provider networks, virtual datacenters, or network pools that have been previously configured and are in use by vCIM. If a product has settings for these removed items, the product cannot be allocated from the existing template.

2.7 Configure the default organization template

vCloud Director will automatically assign an organization template to each new customer created by you or your resellers. Before you create your first customer or reseller with vCIM, you need to set up the desired default settings for this template.

If you later need to update the template, you can repeat these steps. New settings will overwrite the existing settings and will take effect for all new customers. Existing customers will retain their organization settings.

Configure the default settings for the template organization template

1. In the vCloud Integration Manager portal, navigate to the Products tab.

2. Click the Plus sign next to Add Product.

Table 4. Problems and Solutions

Problem Solution

You are not able to edit a product name. If the product is already activated, its details cannot be edited. If the product is not yet activated, delete it and create a new product with the desired name.

You are not able to delete a product. If the product is already activated, it cannot be deleted.

You create the reseller or customer but there are no available products to assign.

Make sure the products have been activated (see Setting Up a Product).

You get a warning about a duplicate customer name.

Make sure that the customer name is not already used.

You change product allocation and it does not appear in the Products or Tasks areas.

Click the refresh button in the vCIM portal.

You delete a customer but nothing happens. Click the refresh button in the vCIM portal; a deleted customer may still show in the customer list with a status of suspended until vCIM completes the off-boarding process.

You delete a customer and get the message: “403 The request was a legal request, but the server is refusing to respond to it.”

Click the refresh button in the vCIM portal; the customer may already be deleted. It may still show in the customer list with a status of suspended until vCIM completes the off-boarding process.

A reseller is managing sub-resellers and loses or needs to change a password.

Ask the service provider to reset the password.

A product cannot be allocated from the existing template.

A provider network, virtual datacenter, or network pool set up for the product may have been removed. Contact the service provider.

4.3 Logs

Change log levels for vCIM UI

Logging properties for vCIM UI is specified in the following file in the VA: /usr/local/tcserver/vfabric-tc-server-standard/vcaf/webapps/vcim/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties 1. Change log level by modifying the property "log4j.rootLogger" in the above mentioned properties file: For eg. To set log level to 'INFO': log4j.rootLogger=INFO, R 2. Restart the Tomcat service (service tomcat restart).

Change log levels for API

Logging properties for API is specified in the following file in the VA: /usr/local/tcserver/vfabric-tc-server-standard/vcaf/webapps/api/WEB-INF/classes/logback.xml 1. Change log level by modifying the 'level' attribute of 'root' tag in the above mentioned xml file: For eg. to set log level to 'INFO': <root level="INFO"> 2. Restarting Tomcat is not required, since the xml file is read every "2 minutes" as specified in the logback.xml file.

Generate compressed file containing all log files

Following is the support script in the VA to generate the compressed file containing all log files: /opt/vmware/vcim/bin/vcimsupport Usage: /opt/vmware/vcim/bin/vcimsupport [-h] [-w output directory] [-q] [-P] -h prints this usage statement -q runs in quiet mode -w <dir> sets the working directory used for the output files, default is current directory -P don't include running processes state For eg: /opt/vmware/vcim/bin/vcimsupport -w /tmp will create the file with extension .tgz in /tmp directory Filename is of the format "vcim-<date>.<random-no>.tgz" Following are vCIM specific files included in the .tgz file: ------------------------------------------------------------ # vCIM configuration files /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config
