This section explains how to configure the settings required by Resource Coordinator VE to interact with third party software.
VM management console
To launch an external VM management console (provided by the virtualization software used) from the RC console, users must be granted the permission to launch this management console in the Java Plug-in policy settings. Refer to "A.2 Configuration Requirements" in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide" for details on the VM management software clients that can be started from the RC console.
Use the following procedure to enable launch of the VM management console.
In the RC console resource tree, right-click the target VM host or VM guest, and select [VM Management Console] in the menu that is displayed.
The [Launch VM Management Console] dialog is displayed.
Click the <OK> button.
If launch of the VM management console from the RC console was not enabled yet, a [Download] dialog for the Java policy setup script is displayed.
Click the <OK> button.
Clicking the <OK> button will download the Java policy setup script. Save this script to an arbitrary location.
Execute the saved Java policy setup script. This will configure java policy settings and allow launch of the VM management console.
Close all Web browsers.
After closing all opened Web browsers, start a new Web browser and re-log into the RC console. The VM management console can now be launched from the RC console.
Information
Depending on script-related settings, the command prompt opened by the Java policy setup script may closed right after finishing its execution, making it impossible to confirm whether or not the script ended successfully
In this case, use the Windows start menu to select [Start]-[Run], and execute the following command.
wscript "full path name of the Java policy setup script" |
