This section explains the procedure for physical server or VM host agent installation.
The relationships of installation directories and the agents that must be installed is as follows.
Installation Directories | Agent | |
---|---|---|
VM Host | VMware | Yes (*) |
Hyper-V | Yes | |
Xen | Yes | |
KVM | Yes | |
Physical Server | Windows | Yes |
Linux | Yes |
* Note: When using VMware ESXi, Resource Orchestrator agents cannot be installed.
Install ServerView ESXi CIM Provider agents.
When deploying multiple new managed servers using Windows or Linux, cloning enables copying of the data installed on a server (OS, updates, Resource Orchestrator agents, and common software installed on servers) to other servers.
For details, refer to "Chapter 17 Cloning [Physical Servers]" in the "User's Guide VE".
