This section explains the points to consider when operating this product in a virtual environment.
Admin server
Operation of the admin server is supported in the following virtual environments:
VMware vSphere 4 ESX 4.0/4.1 and ESXi 4.1
VMware vSphere 5 ESXi 5.0/5.1/5.5
VMware vSphere 6 ESXi 6.0
Hyper-V
Linux virtual machine function
Note
Notes common for all virtual environments
When a problem occurs, support is provided under the condition that it is reproducible in a physical environment (outside of a virtual environment). For this reason, reproduction of the problem in a physical environment may be requested.
Cloning cannot be used on the admin server.
For VMware
VMware vMotion can be used only when communication processing (discovery, parameter setting, and deployment and application of patches) is not performed on managed servers.
When switchover occurs using the HA function of VMware during an operation (discovery, parameter setting, and deployment and application of patches), the operation may need to be performed again after the switchover.
When switchover occurs using the DR function of VMware, the states which were affected by operations (discovery, definitions, operation information) between the creation of the last backup and occurrence of the disaster are restored to the states at the time when the last backup was created. In addition, operations are not possible when the host name or IP address is not taken over.
For Hyper-V
The Live Migration and Quick Migration functions of Hyper-V can be used only when communication processing (discovery, parameter setting, and deployment and application of patches) is not performed on managed servers.
When switchover occurs using the replication function of Hyper-V, the states which were affected by operations (discovery, definitions, operation information) between the creation of the last backup and occurrence of the disaster are restored to the states at the time when the last backup was created. In addition, operations are not possible when the host name or IP address is not taken over.
The import and export functions of Hyper-V do not work when the host name or IP address is not taken over.
When switchover occurs using the failover function of VMware during an operation (discovery, parameter setting, and deployment and application of patches), the operation may need to be performed again after the switchover.
