Configure Translation Layer

Redfish translation layer is the interface between
SDDC Manager
 and hardware vendor. You must configure this translation layer by providing the Redfish translation layer URL and credentials.
  1. As a best practice, increase the queue capacity for the thread pool.
    1. Open the
      application.properties
       file:
      vi /etc/vmware/vcf/operationsmanager/application.properties
    2. Update the queue capacity line as follows:
      om.executor.queuecapacity=300
    3. Save and close the file.
  2. If you are using a self-signed certificate, import the Redfish certificate from the Redfish VM to SDDC Manager appliance by following the steps below. If you are using a CA signed certificate, skip to step 3.
    1. Using SSH, log in to the SDDC Manager appliance with the following credentials:
      User name:
      vcf
      Password: use the password specified in the deployment parameter workbook.
    2. Enter
      su
       to switch to the
      root
       user.
    3. Import the Redfish certificate from the Redfish VM to SDDC Manager appliance by running the following command: 
      /opt/vmware/vcf/commonsvcs/scripts/cert-fetch-import-refresh.sh --ip=
      redfish-FQDN
       --port=
      port
       --service-restart=operationsmanager
      Replace
      redfish-FQDN
       with the translation layer FQDN. Replace
      port
       with the TLS/SSL port.
      The output displays information about the certificate to import including owner, issuer, serial number, validity, certificate fingerprints (md5, sha1, or sha256), signature algorithm name, subject, public key algorithm, and version. Verify this information.
    4. Answer the prompt.

    systemctl restart operationsmanager
    Wait for a few minutes before proceeding to the next step.
