A vSphere Endpoint is a connection between vRealize Automation (vRA) and a vSphere environment. In order for the vSphere Endpoint to function properly, the following statements must be true:
A. A vSphere proxy agent must be installed: To enable vRealize Automation to communicate with vSphere, a vSphere proxy agent must be installed on at least one machine in the vSphere environment. This agent acts as a proxy between vRA and the vSphere environment, allowing vRA to manage resources in the environment. Without this agent, vRealize Automation will not be able to communicate with vSphere, and the vSphere Endpoint will not be functional.
B. The vSphere Plug-In must be installed in vRealize Orchestrator: This statement is incorrect. The vSphere Plug-In is not required for a functional vSphere Endpoint in vRealize Automation. The vSphere Plug-In is used to enable vRealize Orchestrator to communicate with vSphere, but it is not necessary for vRA to communicate with vSphere.
C. A vRealize Automation Plug-In must be installed and configured: This statement is also incorrect. While vRealize Automation Plug-Ins may be required for certain integrations or functionality within vRA, they are not required for a functional vSphere Endpoint.
D. The endpoint name in vRA must match the endpoint name provided to the vSpere proxy agent: When configuring a vSphere Endpoint in vRealize Automation, an endpoint name is provided. This endpoint name must match the endpoint name that is provided to the vSphere proxy agent during installation. If these names do not match, vRealize Automation will not be able to communicate with the vSphere environment, and the vSphere Endpoint will not be functional.
In summary, a functional vSphere Endpoint in vRealize Automation requires the installation of a vSphere proxy agent and the endpoint name in vRA to match the endpoint name provided to the vSphere proxy agent. The installation of the vSphere Plug-In in vRealize Orchestrator and a vRealize Automation Plug-In are not required for a functional vSphere Endpoint.
