If using End to End display for the VM host (VMware ESX or VMware ESXi) itself and any VM guests (virtual machines and guest operating systems) and storage devices can be supported by registering the VM host to the VMware vCenter Server.
It communicates directly with VMware ESX, VMware ESXi or VMware vCenter Server without using an Agent, and displays information about the VM host and VM guests.
Point
If more than one network adapter is defined in the VM guest, an IP address of the VM guest is displayed only one. The displayed IP address is a primary IP address that is defined to a VM guest. Generally a primary IP address indicates the IP address of the network adapter first recognized by OS.
It is recommended to set an IP address in the same format (IPv4 or IPv6) as the VM host.
If the IP address format (IPv4 or IPv6) of the VM guest is different from that of the VM host, the IP address of the VM guest is not displayed.
It is recommended that VMware Tools be installed on the guest OS.
VMware Tools must be running on the guest OS in order to display information about the guest OS (such as the IP address, host name, and the name and version of the operating system). When VMware Tools is not installed on the guest OS, refer to "B.4.1.2 VMware Server Node" for what is displayed in it.
To use the VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes function, install VMware Tools on the guest OS.
Set the IP address for management of the VM guest and the IP address for the DAG to another network adapter each. Assign the IP address for management of the VM guest to the network adapter with the highest number.
If the VM guest is a single network adaptor environment, newly allocate the network adaptor to the VM guest, and operate the network adaptor separately for IP address for DAG and IP address for the management of the VM guest.
Registration of the VMware vCenter Server to which the VM host was registered is also necessary. An IP address, user name, and password are required for registering the VMware vCenter Server.
When the VM host has been registered to the VMware vCenter Server using the IP address, specify the IP address registered to the VMware vCenter Server also when registering the VM host to this product.
If VMware vCenter Server is already registered to this product, reload VMware vCenter Server.
