This section explains the definition files for registering the following VM hosts as managed servers.
VMware ESXi
Citrix XenServer
Create the following two definition files:
Purpose
This definition file is necessary for Resource Orchestrator to manage VM hosts without installing Resource Orchestrator agents on them.
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.
Format of the Definition File
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data
Point
In the storage location above, the sample definition file (server_control.sample.rcxprop) is stored. When using the sample as the definition file, place the file after deleting the ".sample" included in the file name.
server_control.rcxprop
[Windows Manager]
UTF-8
[Windows Manager]
CR/LF
The following line must be entered in the first line of definition files.
ServerControl,V1.1 |
In the definition file, the name of each server is described on an individual line.
When defining two or more servers, use line breaks.
Each line is entered in the following format.
physical_server, ipmi |
Even if the same physical server name is entered on multiple lines, no errors occur.
When adding comments, start the line with a number sign ("#").
Enter the same physical server name as the one entered when registering a managed server.
Enter a character string beginning with an alphabetical character and containing up to 15 alphanumeric characters and hyphens ("-").
Specify "false".
