This section explains the procedure for physical server or VM host agent installation.
The relationships of installation directories and the agents that must be installed are as follows.
Installation Directories | Agent | |
|---|---|---|
VM Host | VMware | Yes (*1) |
Hyper-V | Yes | |
Xen | Yes | |
KVM | Yes | |
Solaris Zones | Yes | |
OVM for SPARC | Yes (*2) | |
OVM for x86 3.x | - | |
Physical Server | Windows | Yes |
Linux | Yes | |
Solaris | Yes | |
Yes: Installation is required.
- : Installation is not required.
*1: When using VMware ESXi, there is no need to install Resource Orchestrator agents on managed servers because VMs and guest OSs are managed directly from the admin server.
Install ServerView ESXi CIM Provider.
When using VMware ESXi on another vendor's servers or when not using ServerView ESXi CIM Provider on VMware ESXi on Fujitsu rack mount servers, it is not necessary to install ServerView ESXi CIM Provider.
Like with other OSs, agents must be registered.
*2: When a guest domain on OVM for SPARC is registered as a VM host, it is necessary to install agent in that guest domain.
When deploying multiple new managed servers using Windows or Linux, cloning enables copying of the data installed on a server (OS, updates, Resource Orchestrator agents, and common software installed on servers) to other servers.
For details, refer to "Chapter 17 Cloning [Physical Servers]" in the "User's Guide VE".
