Distributing configuration objects

Before you use the TrueSight Server Automation Console to manage a virtual environment, you must distribute the appropriate configuration objects to the target platform as described in this topic.

To run the Distribute Configuration Objects Job

1. From within the TrueSight Server Automation Console, navigate to the Servers folder.
2. Select a server, frame, or vCenter on which you want to create your Distribute Configuration Objects Job.
3. Right-click the server and select New > Administration Task > Distribute Configuration Objects. This starts the job wizard.
4. Provide a name for the job and click Next.
5. On the Selected Configuration Objects panel, in the Available Configuration Objects section, expand the Global Configuration Objects list.

6. Select the configuration object appropriate for your virtualization platform, as listed in the following table, and add it to the Selected Configuration Objects section.

   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
   where <version> represents the version number of the Configuration Object, for example, v86,000,000 for version 8.6.

7. Click Next.

8. On the Targets panel, select the appropriate target server for your platform.
9. Click Finish, and execute the job.
