Install Utilization Provider version A.01.08.07.00 for HP-UX 1203 Integrity
VM host
Utilization Provider version A.01.08.07.00 is required for systems that have HP-UX
vPars and Integrity VM 6.1. Download this version from the HP Software Depot. Without
this version, Utilization Provider displays excessive high system memory for HP-UX 1203
Integrity VM hosts even though there are no VMs hosted.
VM kernel port name used for management traffic must be “Management
Network”
In VMware ESXi, the default name of the Virtual Machine (VM) kernel port used for
management traffic is “Management Network”. Do not modify this name in the vCenter
client user interface. If this name is modified, the following will result.
• When trying to activate a logical server, the ESXi hosts appear as Rejected Target
hosts with an error that the hosts are not part of vCenter, or that virtual machine
management is unable to get vCenter information for the VM host.
• The association between the host and vCenter does not appear in Systems Insight
Manager.
Suggested action
Modify the Network Label of the VMKernel port used for management traffic to
“Management Network” by performing the following steps.
1. Log into the vCenter using the vCenter client.
2. Select the Hosts and Clusters view from the menu View→Inventory.
3. Select the ESXi server from the tree displayed in the left pane.
4. Select the Configuration tab from the right pane.
5. From the Hardware section, select Networking.
6. Click Properties for the Virtual Switch where the VMKernel port used for
management traffic is located. If there are multiple VMKernel ports located on
multiple virtual switches and configured for management traffic, select the switch
that has the VMKernel port that has the IP that is registered with HP Insight Control
virtual machine management, or that will be used for registration with virtual
machine management.
7. In the pop-up that displays the virtual switch properties, select the service console
port and click the Edit button.
8. Change the Network Label to Management Network and click OK. Close the virtual
switch properties pop-up window.
It can take a maximum of five minutes for the cache to be refreshed and the API to
report the ESXi host.
Managing a Microsoft Hyper-V (or any MSCS) cluster when an alias is
assigned by DHCP
In Windows Server 2008 Failover Clusters, if the cluster alias is assigned using DHCP,
the cluster alias PTR (reverse lookup) record in DNS will be incorrect, and will cause
the cluster to be incorrectly discovered in Systems Insight Manager.
To correct this problem, delete the cluster objects from Systems Insight Manager, take
the steps in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/
