Convert a traditional
vCenter
 cloud account to one based on a
VMware Aria Automation
 extensibility (vREx) proxy

You can convert an existing
vCenter
 cloud account in
VMware Aria Automation
 from one that connects to a
vCenter
 server directly to one that connects through a
VMware Aria Automation
 extensibility (vREx) proxy.
Regardless of whether you use the
Forward all traffic through proxy
 option,
VMware Aria Automation
 manages the associated
vCenter
 instance with the cloud account. The difference is whether
VMware Aria Automation
 manages it directly or through an intermediary
VMware Aria Automation
 extensibility (vREx) proxy.
Reasons you might want to toggle to a remote proxy method include the following:
  • A better throughput for highly loaded
    VMware Aria Automation
     instances.
  • A more reliable connection to distant
    vCenter
     servers.
  • The opportunity to manage
    vCenter
     servers in network isolation.
You can toggle and test the connection mode.
To change the association of an existing
vCenter
 cloud account from a direct
vCenter
 connection to an indirect, intermediary
VMware Aria Automation
 extensibility (vREx) proxy, use the following procedure:
  2. Log in to
    VMware Aria Automation
     and open the
    Automation Assembler
     service.
  3. Click
    Infrastructure
    Connections
    Cloud Accounts
     and select the existing
    vCenter
     cloud account.
  4. In the
    Credentials
     area of the cloud account page, select the
    Forward all traffic through proxy
     option and select the configured
    VMware Aria Automation
     extensibility (vREx) proxy from the drop-down menu of available
    VMware Aria Automation
     extensibility (vREx) proxies.
    After you select a vREx proxy, you must revalidate your user name and password credentials.
  5. Revalidate your
    vCenter
     credentials as prompted.
  6. Save the changes.
