ServerView Resource Orchestrator Cloud Edition V3.0.0 Setup Guide

F.1 Installation

This section explains how to install a VM host on a physical L-Server.

1. Preparations for Physical L-Server Creation

   For physical L-Server creation, configure the necessary settings.

   For details, refer to the following:

   • "D.2 Pre-setup Preparations (Servers)"

   • "D.3 Pre-setup Preparations (Storage)"

   • "D.4 Pre-setup Preparations (Network)"

   • "D.6 Setup"

2. Create Resource Folders

   Create a resource folder to locate physical L-Servers to install VM hosts on.

   For details on how to create a resource folder, refer to "13.2.1 Creating a Resource Folder" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".

   Note

   To prevent accidental deletion, create a resource folder for the physical L-Server on which the VM host will be installed, and configure it so that tenant administrators cannot access it.

   For details, refer to "Appendix B Access Control by Roles" in the "Operation Guide CE".

3. Create Physical L-Servers

   Create a physical L-Server to install a VM host in the created resource folder.

   For details on how to create a physical L-Server, refer to "D.7 Creating an L-Server".

   Note

   • Cloning images for a physical L-Server on which a VM host has been installed cannot be collected or deployed.

   • Use the NIC for the public LAN of an L-Server with the status "not connected" without connecting network resources.

   Point

   If using Auto Deploy to create a VM host, perform the following procedures:

   • Specify "Do not deploy" for "Image deployment".

   • Specify "Network boot (PXE)" for "Boot mode".

4. Install a VM Host

   Install a VM host on the created physical L-Server.

   When using Auto Deploy to create a VM host, reserve the MAC address of the admin NIC and admin IP address for the physical L-Server on the DHCP server used with Auto Deploy and start the L-Server.

   Specify the virtual MAC address configured on VIOM for the MAC address of the admin NIC.

   For details, refer to the individual manuals of server virtualization software.

5. Install Agents

   Install Resource Orchestrator agents and ServerView Agents on a VM host.

   If using Auto Deploy to create a VM host, this procedure is not necessary.

   For details on installing agents, refer to "2.2 Agent Installation" of the "Installation Guide CE".

   Point

   When using VMware ESX, install Resource Orchestrator agents and ServerView for VMware agents.

   When using VMware ESXi, install ServerView ESXi CIM Provider agents.

6. Register a VM Host

   Registers a VM host with VM management software.

   For details, refer to the individual manuals of server virtualization software.

7. Register VM Management Software

   Register VM management software in Resource Orchestrator.

   For details, refer to "2.2 Registering VM Management Software" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".

8. Register Agents

   Register an agent on the physical L-Servers the VM host will be installed on. Execute the following procedure to register agents.

   1. Right-click the target L-Server in the orchestration tree, and select [Register]-[Agent] from the popup menu.

   2. In the displayed "Register Agent" dialog, click <OK>.

9. Register VM Pools

   Register a VM host in a VM pool.

   For details, refer to "7.1 VM Host Resources" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
