6.8.1 Information required for configuration (model HA8000xM or earlier)

You need the following information about the target hosts and SVP.

Figure 6‒20: Information required for configuring the reset path (model HA8000xM or earlier: not using VMware ESXi-based virtualization)

Figure 6‒21: Information required for configuring the reset path (model HA8000xM or earlier: using VMware ESXi-based virtualization)

The following table explains the specification items in the figures.

Table 6‒5: Information required for configuring the reset path (model HA8000xM or earlier)
No. in figure	Information required for configuration	Description	Remarks
1	Partition name	Specifies a management system name for the partition in which HA Monitor is run. Specify any name consisting of from 1 to 31 alphanumeric characters.	--
2	IP address of reset path	Specifies the IP address of the reset path allocated to the target host.	For details about how to allocate IP addresses and port numbers, see 5.4.2 Necessary IP addresses and port numbers.
3	Port number of reset path	Specifies the port number of the reset path allocated to the target host.
4	IP address of SVP	Specifies the IP address of the reset path allocated to SVP.
5	Port number of SVP	Specifies the port number of the reset path allocated to SVP.
6	Machine address^#1	Specifies any number that indicates the physical partition (processor) in which HA Monitor is run.	This must be the same value specified for the host in the same physical partition but different from one specified for a host in a different physical partition. Make sure that this value is unique among all physical partitions that share the reset path.
7	IP address of VMware ESXi^#1	Specifies the management IP address of VMware ESXi.	For details about how to allocate IP addresses and port numbers, see 5.4.2 Necessary IP addresses and port numbers.
8	Port number of VMware ESXi^#1	Specifies the port number assigned to VMware ESXi for SSH connection.
9	Password^{#1, #2}	Specifies the password required for authorization when SSH connection is established with VMware ESXi on the local host.	Specify the same password throughout the same hot-standby configuration.
10	Virtual machine name^#1	Specifies the virtual machine name that is managed by VMware ESXi.	This is the name specified when you created virtual machines with VMware ESXi. Specify the name that was checked by VMware vSphere Client or vCenter. This virtual machine name must be unique among all VMware ESXi systems that can be connected by HA Monitor. The following describes how to check a virtual machine name: Execute the `ifconfig` command on the guest OS of the virtual machine and make note of the information specific to the virtual machine (such as the MAC address). Use VMware vSphere Client to connect to VMware ESXi. Open the window for editing virtual machine settings and find the virtual machine with the same virtual machine-specific information that was obtained in step 1.

Legend:: --: Not applicable
#1: This information is required only if you use VMware ESXi-based virtualization.
#2: An SSH connection requires authentication. If you select the password authentication method, HA Monitor stores the password for an SSH connection to VMware ESXi in a unique format on the local host. Although the password is stored in such a manner that only the root user can reference it, you must evaluate what security measures might be needed, such as physically disconnecting the local disk from external networks.
