Device Manager settings for virtualization servers
Device Manager supports the system configurations described below. If a virtualization server is
managed by Device Manager, do not make the virtual machines running on that virtualization server
management targets of Device Manager, except when NPIV HBA is used in the configuration.
Device Manager settings for virtualization servers: VMware ESX monitored by vMA
To register a virtualization server in Device Manager, you need to specify the information (such as IP
address and user account) of the CIMOM interface for vMA. When you specify the vMA information,
the physical environment managed by vMA is registered as a virtualization server.
Even if VMware ESX managed by vMA is running in a different physical environment than that in
which vMA is running, you need to register the vMA information in Device Manager.
Figure 7 and Figure 8 show examples of system configurations in which VMware ESX is monitored
by vMA.
