See
Refer to "3.2 Server Node Middleware for Which Management Is Possible" for the details on the corresponding Multipath drivers and file systems.
For VMware
To display the End to End list for VMware's VM guest and the storage device, register the VM host to the Management Server. It is also necessary to register to this software the VMware vCenter Server which manages the VM host registered to the Management Server.
Specify the following for registration of the VMware vCenter Server.
IP address
User name
Password
Communication port number of VMware vCenter Server (Default: 443)
Note
The End to End list for VMware supports the display of information for storage devices connected to the VM host with FC, iSCSI and FCoE connections. Storage devices utilizing SAS connections, NPIV connections in an FC environment, and storage devices with the VM guests directly connected with iSCSI are not supported.
When registering the VM host to the VMware vCenter Server using the host name, set it so that name lookup can be done on the Management Server for the VM host being registered to this product. Perform one of the following setups.
Register the IP address and host name for the VM host being set to the VMware vCenter Server to the DNS server which the Management Server references.
Define the IP address and host name for the VM host set to the VMware vCenter Server to the /etc/hosts file on the Management Server.
The display of LUN used for VM guests supports the display of RawDeviceMapping and data store in VMFS format. The display of data store in NFS format is not supported.
For the following environments, a path is displayed as a single path in the End to End list display:
iSCSI multipath environment where two iSCSI ports of a storage system have the same iSCSI name
Storage Cluster environment with iSCSI
For Hyper-V (Windows, Only for Manager)
To display the End to End list for the VM guest on the Hyper-V host, install the agent to the Hyper-V host and then register it to the Management Server.
Next, register the target Hyper-V host in the End to End View (Hyper-V).
Specify the following for registration of the Hyper-V host.
User name
When Hyper-V host is participating in the ActiveDirectory environment:
Specify users with administrator privileges in the format of "Domain name\User name".
When Hyper-V host is not participating in the ActiveDirectory environment:
Specify users with administrator privileges in the format of "NetBIOS computer name\User name".
If the user name is not specified in the formats listed above, incorrect information may be displayed.
Password
Also, implement the following settings to the Hyper-V host and the Management Server.
To make settings, users must have administrator privileges to log in.
Set up Hyper-V host
Perform the following procedure to give permission for Hyper-V host that is performing End to End display to remote management.
Click start > Administrative Tools > Server Manager to run Server Manager. Click Configure Server Manager Remote Management in [Computer Information] on Server Manager.
If Enable remote management of this server from other computers checkbox is unchecked, check it and click OK.
Click start > run. Enter "cmd.exe" to click OK.
Execute the following command at the command prompt.
C:\Users\administrator> winrm quickconfig [Enter] |
If the remote management is not set, enter "y".
For the End to End list display for Hyper-V with iSCSI connection, set up the advanced settings for the connection when connecting to a target detected from iSCSI initiator property. Specify the IP address for the Hyper-V host adopter to the initiator IP in the advanced settings. If the settings are incorrect, the End to End list for Hyper-V is not displayed properly.
Set up the Management Server
Click start > run. Enter "cmd.exe" to click OK.
Execute the winrm command below on the console of cmd, and check the value for TrustedHosts.
Execution example)
C:\Users\administrator> winrm get winrm/config/client
Specify "*" for TrustedHosts or, only if the IP address for the Hyper-V host for which the End to End list is to be displayed has not been set, execute the winrm command below to specify the value for TrustedHosts.
Execution example)
C:\Users\administrator> winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="ipAddr"} [Enter]For ipAddr, specify as the value for the previously confirmed TrustedHosts and the IP address for the Hyper-V host for which the End to End list of the VM guests is to be displayed. If you specify multiple IP addresses, specify them with the addresses separated by commas (as in "ipAddr1, ipAddr2,..."). For IPv6 format, surround the IP address with brackets "[]".
Example: When registering 192.0.2.10,fcde:555:444:333:222::1027,fcde:555:444:333:222::1154 in Trusted Hosts:
TrustedHosts="192.0.2.10,[fcde:555:444:333:222::1027],[fcde:555:444:333:222::1154]"
Note
To use this function, the following need to be installed on the Management Server:
.NET Framework 2.0 or later
PowerShell 2.0 or later
WinRM2.0 or later
Note that the supported version of Hyper-V is 2.0 or later.
The End to End list for Hyper-V supports the display of information for storage devices connected to the VM host with FC, iSCSI and FCoE connections. Storage devices utilizing SAS connections and storage devices with VM guests directly connected with iSCSI are not supported.
For a multipath configuration, the End to End list for Hyper-V displays only one path.
A host name detected by the agent may not be consistent with a host name of the Hyper-V host displayed in the End to End list for Hyper-V. To be consistent with those host names, define the host name as a computer name in the /etc/hosts file of Hyper-V host.
The information of virtual HBA on the Hyper-V guest is not displayed.
If one of the following conditions is satisfied, the IP addresses of the VM guests are not displayed.
The same format (IPv4 or IPv6) IP address as the Hyper-V host is not set to its VM guests.
The Hyper-V host OS is Microsoft Windows Server 2016 or later.
