information, the physical environments managed by VMware vCenter Server are registered as
virtualization servers.
Figure 9 shows an example of a system configuration in which VMware vCenter Server is monitored
by vMA.
Figure 9 System configuration in which vMA monitors VMware vCenter Server
In Figure 9, when you specify the information of vMA, virtualization servers A, B, and C are registered
in Device Manager.
CAUTION:
• If you change the information (such as IP address and user account) of the CIMOM interface for
vMA, you must re-register the vMA in Device Manager (but you do not need to delete it).
• If you add virtualization servers to or delete virtualization servers from VMware vCenter Server
management, you must re-register, in Device Manager, the instance of vMA that monitors that
instance of VMware vCenter Server (but you do not need to delete it).
• If you change which instance of VMware vCenter Server manages virtualization servers, you must
perform the following operations from Device Manager:
1.Change the communication parameter setting for the virtualization server to the information of
the instance of vMA that monitors the instance of VMware vCenter Server that now manages the
virtualization server.
2. Update (refresh) the virtualization server information.
Device Manager settings for virtualization servers: vMA is not used
In Device Manager, this configuration of virtualization server can be used only if the virtualization
software is VMware ESX Server 3.5 or VMware ESX Server 3i Version 3.5.
To register a virtualization server in Device Manager, specify the information (such as IP address and
user account) about the CIMOM interface for VMware ESX.
Figure 10 shows an example of a system configuration in which VMware ESX is operated without
using vMA.
