The information in this section examines the classes of the EAM Sample Solution to show you how to add a solution to Solutions Manager. Some information modifies the EAM Sample Solution to add new content to it.
1 | You add a solution to Solutions Manager by setting the shownInSolutionManager property in the implementation of the Extension data object that manages the solution. |
2 | You can provide an icon for each type of virtual machine or vApp that an extension manages by setting the ExtManagedEntityInfo smallIconUrl property. |
3 | When you create a solution, you can add tabs that appear in Solutions Manager to allow users to configure the solutions and to access the functions of the solution in the vSphere web client. |
4 | vCenter Server pulls data from solutions about their health status. Solutions expose health data by providing a URL to an XML file that defines the health model of the solution. Solutions Manager provides a graphical representation of the health data that vCenter Server receives from the solutions that it manages. |
