To Create Management Server in vSphere HA Environment

Use two VM hosts to create a vSphere HA environment.

Take the following steps to create the environment:

1. Create a Management Server.

   1. Create for one VM host a VMFS datastore using local disks of the VM host.

   2. For the created VMFS datastore, create a virtual machine used for a Management Server.

   3. In the virtual machine for the Management Server, install and set up ETERNUS SF Manager and ETERNUS VASA Provider.

2. Create a shared disk for vSphere HA.

   1. Register an ETERNUS Disk storage system on the ETERNUS SF system.

   2. Use the ETERNUS SF system to create volumes on the ETERNUS Disk storage system.

   3. Use the ETERNUS SF system to locate the created volumes to the two VM hosts respectively.

   4. Create a VMFS datastore with the located volumes.

3. Create a vSphere HA environment.

   Create a vSphere HA environment. At this time, specify the created VMFS datastore for the shared storage.

4. Move the Management Server to the shared disk.

   Move the virtual machine for Management Server to the shared disk used for vSphere HA environment.
