Resource Coordinator VE can be used to manage the following resources:
A chassis is an enclosure used to house server blades or PRIMERGY Partition Model servers which contain system boards.
Monitoring of statuses, displaying properties, and controlling of power status (*1) can be performed. Resource Coordinator VE can also automatically detect the servers contained in a chassis and register them as managed resources.
*1: Only possible with blade server chassis.
This is a general term for any physical server. This term is used to distinguish physical servers from virtual servers that are created using server virtualization software such as VMware.
Resource Coordinator VE can monitor server statuses, display their properties, and control their power states.
It can also detect the physical OS's and VM hosts running on servers and register them as managed resources.
This refers to the operating system that operates directly on a physical server (instead of a virtual server).
Resource Coordinator VE can monitor physical OS statuses and display their properties. It can also perform operations such as backup, HBA address rename, and server switchover.
This refers to the server virtualization software installed on a server that is used to run virtual machines. For example, in a VMware environment, VMware ESX is the VM host used to provide server virtualization.
Resource Coordinator VE manages VM hosts in the same manner as physical OS's: it can monitor their statuses, display their properties, and perform operations such as HBA address rename and server switchover.
When a VM host is registered, any VM guests on the VM host are automatically detected and displayed.
This refers to the operating system running on top of a virtual machine.
Resource Coordinator VE can monitor VM guest statuses, display their properties, and control their power states.
A software product used to centrally manage an entire virtualization environment (e.g. VMware vCenter Server).
VM management software can be integrated (registered) into Resource Coordinator VE to broaden the range of functions available for VM guests.
This term encompasses both the network switches that are mounted in a blade chassis (LAN switch blades), and the external LAN switches that are directly connected to them.
Resource Coordinator VE can monitor LAN switch blade statuses, display their properties, and manage their VLAN configurations.
LAN switch blades and external LAN switches can be displayed in a comprehensive Network Map.
This is a storage device mounted in a blade server chassis.
It is automatically detected and displayed once its enclosing chassis has been registered. Its power state can be controlled in conjunction with the power state of the server it is connected to.
