Figure 9 Operation workflow for managing virtualization server
Notes on operating virtualization servers
Note the following when operating virtualization servers:
• To check the latest volume information of virtualization servers, manually refresh information for
each virtualization server by using Device Manager.
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 VMware vCenter Server, you
need to update (refresh) the Device Manager information. If the configuration information of virtu-
alization servers is set to be automatically applied to VMware vCenter Server, a time lag might
occur from the time the configuration is changed until the information is applied to VMware
vCenter Server.
For details on how to apply the configuration information of virtualization servers to VMware
vCenter Server and how to adjust the interval for applying information, see the VMware document-
ation.
• 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.
Prerequisites for mainframe hosts
From Device Manager or Tiered Storage Manager linked with XP7 mainframe agent, you can perform
the following operations for mainframe volumes:
• Checking the usage of mainframe volumes and the logical DKC serial numbers of storage systems
(from Device Manager)
• Migrating and shredding mainframe volumes (from Tiered Storage Manager)
Operation workflow of managing a mainframe host
To manage mainframe host volumes by linking XP7 mainframe agent, you must specify environment
settings for both XP7 mainframe agent and Device Manager.
