Figure 3 Environment settings on virtual machines (when Host Data Collector is used for management)
Host Data Collector comes with HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition, which is installed on the
management server, but can also be installed on a computer other than the management server.
Before you register virtual machines in Device Manager, the following environment settings must
already be specified on the virtual machines. When managing a UNIX host, the environment settings
that need be specified on the UNIX host differ according to the UNIX account used to register the
host in Device Manager.
When managing a Windows host
• A user with Administrator permissions is assigned as a user who can execute the Host Data Col-
lector service.
• admin$ is shared over the network.
You can check this by using the Windows net share command. If a security-monitoring program
is installed on a virtual machine, Host Data Collector might not be able to collect the host inform-
ation.
• In the Windows Firewall settings, File and Printer Sharing is registered as an exception.
• In a configuration in which a virtual HBA is allocated for each virtual machine (by using NPIV
HBAs), the following operations have already been performed:
• Registering virtualization servers that operate in the same physical environment in Device
Manager
