AddVirtualizationServer
AddVirtualizationServer registers a virtualization server into the Device Manager server
database.
If the target virtualization server is already registered, this command updates the Device Manager
server database with the most recent information. In addition, any virtualization server information
that is removed from the virtualization-server management program is deleted from the Device Manager
server database.
NOTE:
• Notes for registering a virtualization server with a structure that monitors VMware vCenter Server
with vMA are described below.
- Virtualization servers registered in VMware vCenter Server for a particular IP address of a virtu-
alization server are registered on the Device Manager server with the IP address as the host name.
This is because the name of a virtualization server registered on a VMware vCenter Server is re-
gistered as the Device Manager server host name .
- If the virtualization server is cut off from VMware vCenter Server and then reconnected, that
virtualization server might not be registered correctly in the Device Manager server. In this situation,
use the management client for the virtualization server to remove the target virtualization server
from VMware vCenter Server, and then register it again. After that, register it on the Device
Manager server.
• When using VMware ESX 3.5 with virtualization software and not vMA, registering the virtualiz-
ation server might take a few hours to complete, depending on the configuration of the virtualization
server and the number of volumes connected.
