Resource Orchestrator manages a server (with storage and networks) with defined logical specifications (number of CPUs, memory capacity, disk capacity, number of NICs, etc.) as an L-Server. VM management software must be registered in Resource Orchestrator to manage a virtual server as an L-Server.
The following VM management software can be registered in Resource Orchestrator.
VMware vCenter Server
System Center Virtual Machine Manager
For details on how to register VM management software, refer to the information about VM management software registration in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
Note
It is necessary to first set up the following items for VM management software before registering it in Resource Orchestrator. For details on how to set up VM management software, refer to the VM management software manual.
[VMware]
Volumes have been created
Zoning and affinity have been set
I/O virtualization is controlled by RCVE and VIOM
VMware ESX has been set to recognize VMFS
Dynamic assignment is performed using VMFS
For details, refer to the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide" and the VM host manual.
When performing redundancy of L- Servers, perform settings for high availability functions (such as VMware HA) of server virtualization software in advance.
For details, refer to the server virtualization software manual.
[Hyper-V]
The configuration enables use of SAN environments on VM hosts
I/O virtualization is controlled by RCVE and VIOM
Volumes have been created
Zoning and affinity have been set
MSFC has been added to VM hosts
A SAN volume has been configured as a cluster disk
A cluster disk has been added as a shared cluster volume
All created L-Servers are located on a cluster as high availability VMs.
For details, refer to the MSFC help.
