New creation of Virtual Machine
After creating a new VM guest, perform the Reload Conf. operation for the VM host where the VM guest exists.
In a VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes environment, when a VM guest created on the VVOL datastore is powered on, it is automatically registered on the ETERNUS SF system. Therefore, it is not required to perform the Reload Conf. operation for the VM guest.
Migration of Virtual Machine
When migrating VM guests between VM hosts using Storage vMotion function or vSphere HA function, this migration is not automatically detected by this product. The migrated VM guests are treated as non-communicating by this product. When migration of VM guests, regardless of whether it is automatic/manual, perform the following under the Web Console:
Delete the migrated VM guest from the VM host where the VM guest existed before migrating.
Perform the Reload Conf. operation for the VM host where the VM guest exists after migrating.
When the VM host where the VM guest existed before migrating is not registered on this product, just perform step 2.
When the VM host where the VM guest exists after migrating is not registered on this product, just perform step 1.
In a VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes environment, when the VM guest is migrated to the VVOL datastore, its migration is automatically recognized. If the VM guest is migrated with its power OFF, its migration is automatically recognized when the VM guest is powered on. Therefore, it is not required to perform the Reload Conf. operation for the migrated VM guest.
