Configure MID capability with Datacenter Value (VMWare Only) - Support and Troubleshooting

Configure MID capability with Datacenter Value (VMWare Only) Description  Overview This article is to demonstrate to Configure MID capability with Datacenter Value for VMWare cloud API operations to go through Specific MID server

Procedure Step 1 Log into the Instance Navigator >> Cloud Management >> Service Accounts >> Verify the Service Account with "cmdb_ci_vcenter_datacenter" Datacenter Type Open the Record with "cmdb_ci_vcenter_datacenter" type and verify the available Logica Datacenters https:// .service-now.com/cmdb_ci_vcenter_datacenter_list.do Copy the Logical Datacenters name Step 2 Create New MID server capability

Navigator >> MID Server >> Capabilities https:// .service-now.com/ecc_agent_capability_list.do Click New >> add "VMWare" as the Capability and Vsphere "Logical Datacenter" as the value

Example: The Vsphere logical datacenter name is "ABC123" the VMware capability value should also be "Abc123"

Click Submit Step 3 Navigator >> Discovery >> MID servers >> Select the MID server from which we choose to specify the VMWare Cloud operations to go through. Open the MID serve record >> Capabilities >> Remove the Capability "ALL" (If already available and not needed) Click on Edit to Add Capabilities >> Select the New capability created with Logical Datacenter value (Step 2) and save >> Save the capabilities Execute Discovery or any CAPI operations, all the Operations will go through the configured MID server Note : If there are multiple Logica Datacenters for the Vsphere, user need to create MID capabilities as many as the Logical Datacenters (perform the above operation for all the Datacenters)

Once performed above steps. If there are two MID servers, "A" with VMware/Value: null, "B" with VMware/Value: datacenter, in this case, B is used as the one with specific datacenter value takes precedence.
