Basic Configuration of vCOPS with the Initial Setup Wizard

Login to vCenter Operations Manager main application:

Enter details as requested. This will be the vCenter information hosting the vcops appliance. This step is optional:

vCenter Server to Monitor

When security alert screen comes up, click YES to trust to this server.

Now, you should also be able to see vCenter Operations Manager icon within the vCenter:

By default when there is no license, vcops will be running in free Foundation (unlicensed) version. To Assign a license, go the vCenter server being monitored and click on “Licencing”. It will be under ASSETs. Here you can change its license. I had to update the registration in the admin console for vcops to take the new license.
