* Verify that you have the IP address of the NSX-T management cluster.
* Create a credential alias with an applicative credential. For more information, see [Create an applicative credential alias for NSX-T cluster discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9R88aVFb0AoCclyioqnc1A "Create a credential alias and configure an applicative credential to enable the NSX Cluster pattern to authenticate with the NSX-T management cluster.").
