This section explains how to register VM management software.
Registration of VM management software (such as VMware vCenter Server) is necessary to enable VM guest migrations.
For details on the required VM management software settings, refer to "9.2.1 Configuration Requirements" in the "Design Guide VE".
Use the following procedure to register VM management software:

Select the location where the VM management software to register is operating.
If VM management software is installed on the admin server
Select [Admin Server].
In other cases
Select [Other Server].
Selecting this option activates the IP address field. Enter the IP address of the server on which VM management software is installed.
By default, [Admin Server] is selected.
Enter the IP address of VM management software. When specifying [Admin Server] for the location, entry is not possible, as the IP address of admin server remains displayed.
Enter the IP address using periods ".".
Note
When receiving SNMP traps from VM management software (VMware vCenter Server), the configured IP address and the SNMP trap source IP address of the VM management software (VMware vCenter Server) should be the same. The SNMP trap source IP address is the IP address of the protocol with the highest priority of protocol binding. When changing the SNMP trap source IP address, change the order of protocol binding.
