This chapter explains system configurations of Resource Orchestrator.
The admin server is a server used to manage managed servers and managed devices.
It is necessary to install the Resource Orchestrator manager on the admin server.
A server performing operations or a spare server.
Install agents on servers used for operations.
Install agents only on VM hosts in server virtualization software environments.
Note
When using VMware ESXi, it is not necessary to install a Resource Orchestrator agent on a managed server, since VMs and guest OSs are directly managed from the admin server.
Instead, install ServerView ESXi CIM Provider.
Register the target VMware ESXi in ServerView Operations Manager, and perform monitoring using ServerView ESXi CIM Provider.
A LAN for managing managed servers from an admin server.
Separate from the public LAN used to perform operations with managed servers.
Redundancy of admin LANs or public LANs can be performed using network redundancy software on the server.
Management of managed servers connected to multiple network segments on an admin server is possible.
A client used to operate an admin server of Resource Orchestrator. Uses the management console (ROR console) on the Web browser.
HBA address rename is the I/O virtualization function provided by Resource Orchestrator.
HBA address rename enables addition or maintenance of servers by modifying the configurations of servers, without modifying the configurations of WWNs of storage units.
The server for the HBA address rename setup service is the server used to operate HBA address rename.
When an admin server and a managed server cannot communicate, the WWN settings required when starting managed servers are configured on behalf of the admin server.
When using I/O virtualization using HBA address rename, it is necessary to prepare the server on which the HBA address rename setup service will operate.
A privileged user is a user who can perform all operations using resources.
A general user is a user who can only perform reference operations using resources.
For details on roles of tenant users, tenant administrators, and infrastructure administrators, refer to "Chapter 4 User Roles in Resource Orchestrator [Cloud Edition]".
