Figure 10 System configuration in which VMware ESX is operated without using vMA
In this configuration, depending on the virtualization server configuration and the number of connected
volumes, it might take several hours to register and refresh the virtualization server in Device Manager.
Virtualization server management
• To check the most recent information about virtualization server volumes, perform either of the
following operations from Device Manager:
• Manually refresh each virtualization server.
• Re-register the vMA that manages the virtualization servers in Device Manager (but you do not
need to delete it).
Note that, if you change the hardware configuration of a virtualization server, after the configur-
ation information of the monitored virtualization server is applied to vMA and VMware vCenter
Server, you need to update (refresh) the Device Manager information. If the configuration inform-
ation of virtualization servers is set to be automatically applied to vMA and VMware vCenter
Server, a time lag might occur from the time the configuration is changed until the information is
applied to vMA and VMware vCenter Server.
For details on how to apply the configuration information of virtualization servers to vMA and
VMware vCenter Server and how to adjust the interval for applying information, see the VMware
documentation.
• When Logical Domains is used, if you export the physical disk in the service domain as a virtual
disk in the guest domain, specify a full disk. If you specify a disk slice, the information about the
virtual disk cannot be acquired correctly.
