C.1.5 Configuration when Creating a Virtual L-Server Using VMware ESXi on Other Vendor's Servers

It is necessary to define that the server can be used as a VM software agent without using an agent for Resource Orchestrator, by creating the definition files before registering a server. When registering the server, select the [Register agent] checkbox, and register the server as VM host. In VM hosts registered using these definitions, obtain the server status or hardware configuration information (CPU core count, CPU clock speed, memory capacity, etc.) from VM software.

When the definition file is changed after registration, the modification is not valid.

Note

  • The server cannot be used for anything other than a VM host (spare server or Windows/Linux server).

  • Even the following settings are configured, priority is given to the information obtained from VM software.

    • Configuration when Creating a Virtual L-Server Using a Server which cannot Use ServerView Agents

    • Configurations to specify "Enable" for server management software (ServerView) when creating a server

  • On VM hosts registered using this definition, the following functions cannot be used.

    • Server switchover

  • In the configuration definition file for pre-configuration, do not describe the values in the following section header parameter for section name [Server]: If the values are described, registration fails.
