Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Section Number and Name:
Section 9.3 Adding a VMware vSphere Connection to Satellite Server
The portion is "For CLI Users"
Describe the issue:
For CLI Users
Create the connection with the hammer compute-resource create command. Select Vmware as the --provider and set the instance UUID of the data center as the --uuid:
# hammer compute-resource create --name "My_vSphere" \
--provider "Vmware" \
--description "vSphere server at vsphere.example.com" \
--server "vsphere.example.com" --user "SatelliteUser" \
--password "p@55w0rd!" --locations "New York" --organizations "My_Organization" \
--uuid 72cb9454-81cd-4231-a863-d9baf0f399f8
Here --uuid is a deprecated option in hammer and very hard to collect without having CLI access of VMware.
Suggestions for improvement:
For CLI Users
Create the connection with the hammer compute-resource create command. Select Vmware as the --provider and set the name of the data center you want to use using --datacenter.
# hammer compute-resource create --name "My_vSphere" \
--provider "Vmware" \
--description "vSphere server at vsphere.example.com" \
--server "vsphere.example.com" --user "SatelliteUser" \
--password "p@55w0rd!" --locations "New York" --organizations "My_Organization" \
--datacenter "My_Datacenter"
Additional information:
[root@vm253-38 ~]# hammer compute-resource create --help | egrep "uuid|datacenter"
--datacenter DATACENTER For RHEV, VMware Datacenter
--uuid UUID Deprecated, please use datacenter
The information should be fixed in Satellite 6.6 documentation as well.
