8.6.3 Examples of environment settings for a VMware ESXi-based virtualization environment
When a VMware ESXi-based virtualization environment is used, the settings to be specified in the definition files depend on the resources and functions that are used. This subsection explains typical examples of system configurations for VMware ESXi-based virtualization environments and the settings to be specified in the definition files for each system configuration.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Example of environment settings when resetting hosts
The following figure shows a system configuration for an example of environment settings when resetting hosts.
The following shows an example of the environment settings for the primary system and the secondary system in this system configuration.
- Environment settings for the primary system (when resetting hosts)
-
- HA Monitor environment settings (definition file: /opt/hitachi/HAmon/etc/sysdef)
-
/* HA Monitor environment settings */ environment name host1, address 1, patrol 60, lan path11:path12, lanport HAmon1:HAmon2; function pathpatrol 1, pathpatrol_retry 3:3, vmware_env use, fence_reset use, fence_scsi nouse;
- Server environment definition (definition file: /opt/hitachi/HAmon/etc/servers)
-
/* server environment definition */ server name /users/server1, alias server1, acttype server, patrol 60, initial online, disk /dev/vg01;
- Environment settings for the secondary system (when resetting hosts)
-

(2) Example of environment settings when using SCSI reservation for shared disk (redundant configuration using multipath software)
The following figure shows a system configuration for an example of the environment settings when using SCSI reservation for shared disk in a redundant configuration using multipath software.
The following shows an example of the environment settings for the primary system and the secondary system in this system configuration.
- Environment settings for the primary system (when using SCSI reservation for shared disk (redundant configuration using multipath software))

(3) Example of environment settings using the function for controlling hot standby based on the availability of LAN communications
The following figure shows a system configuration for an example of environment settings when using the function for controlling hot standby based on the availability of LAN communications.
The following shows an example of the environment settings for the primary system and the secondary system in this system configuration.
- Environment settings for the primary system (when using the function for controlling hot standby based on the availability of LAN communications)
-
- HA Monitor environment settings (definition file: /opt/hitachi/HAmon/etc/sysdef)
