Connecting VCF Operations 9 Fleet Manager

We previously upgraded Aria Operations 8.18.3 to VCF Operations 9 via the Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager, which deployed the Fleet Manager for us. Not sure if it's supposed to connect automatically, but it didn't, so let's connect it. Log into your Admin UI and go here.

Click CONNECT and give it the Fleet Manager details, then click TEST CONNECTION.

Accept Certificate and click NEXT.

Back on the Admin UI we now have this.

Once connected it'll look like this.

Back in VCF Operations 9, Fleet Managment - Lifecycle now has options.

You'll notice the Pending Import in the VCF Operations tile, let's go there first, click IMPORT.

I need a Deployment Target, so I set that in Fleet Management - Lifecycle - Settings - Deployment Targets - ADD DEPLOYMENT TARGET.

Click VALIDATE to validate connection.

After validation, click ADD.

Then click RETURN TO TASKS to go back to your tasks.

Click Pending Action.

Insert your new target vCenter, click I accept and NEXT.

Click SUBMIT and we're off!

And we're in!

Next up will be the Operations for Logs instance, which has to be deployed fresh.
