Figure 8 Environment settings on virtualization servers (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.
To install multiple Host Data Collector computers, make sure that the same Host Data Collector
version and revision are installed on all computers.
VMware Tools must be installed on the virtual machines operating on virtualization servers, if a
virtual HBA is allocated to the virtual machines.
IPv6 can also be used for communication between a Host Data Collector computer and a virtual-
ization server, and between a Host Data Collector computer and VMware vCenter Server.
