5.11.39 Pre-eval. of resource configuration changes in virtual server
Function
Pre-checks the change of the CPU, memory, or disk I/O resource configurations for the virtual server that is managed by VMware vCenter Server.
This component requires the following servers:
- vCenter server
This is the server on which VMware vCenter Server is installed.
- vCenter control server (Execution target server)
This is the server on which VMware vSphere PowerCLI is installed. JP1/AO transfers the component to this server and executes it.
- Virtual server
This is the virtual server that is managed by the vCenter server and VMware vSphere ESXi (or VMware ESX Server).
Use situation
Decide the following based on the property specified in the service template:
- Whether to change the CPU, memory, or disk configuration
- The validity of the value specified in the property
