Method of specification

Basic information

Configuration application status

The configuration status when a host is added to the system hierarchy, registered as one of the following:

  • Not applied

    The change has not been applied to the system hierarchy (the host has not been added).

  • Applied

    The change has been applied to the system hierarchy.

  • Application failed

    The host has been added, but the change has not been applied to the system hierarchy.

Registered automatically when host information is read from the system definitions at addition or deletion of a host in the system hierarchy. Cannot be specified directly.

Configuration application date/time

The date and time when the system hierarchy was updated on the manager. Even for hosts to which configuration definition information is not distributed, the displayed date and time is updated when the system hierarchy is updated.

This item is displayed in yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss format.

Configuration verification status

The status of a host in agent configuration, displayed when the system hierarchy is verified. This status is registered as one of the following:

  • Not yet verified

    The system hierarchy has not yet been verified.

  • Match

    The configuration definition information in the IM Configuration Management database matches the information in the host.

  • Does not match

    The configuration definition information in the IM Configuration Management database does not match the information in the host.

  • Verification failed

    The host's configuration definition information could not be verified because JP1/Base could not be reached.

  • Not supported

    The host does not support IM Configuration Management because it is running a version of JP1/Base earlier than version 9.

Configuration verification date and time

The date and time at which the system hierarchy was verified. This item is displayed in yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss format.

  • Application failed

    Application of the profile has failed.

Registered automatically when the profile is applied. Cannot be specified directly.

Profile application date/time

  • Collected

    Collection of information about virtualization system configuration has been normally completed.

  • Collection failed

    Collection of information about virtualization system configuration has failed. (Due to some reason such as: virtualization software or virtualization environment management software cannot be connected, user authentication is unavailable, or the environment is insufficient).

  • Does not match

    The host type differs between the collected virtualization system configuration information and the virtualization system configuration information stored in IM Configuration Management.

Registered automatically when virtualization configuration information is collected. Cannot be specified directly.

Virtualization configuration collection date/time

The date and time at which collection of information about virtualization system configuration was completed. This item is displayed in yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss format.

Host information

IP address

The IP address of a host recognized by the manager. IP addresses cannot be specified directly.

The value that is registered as the IP address is the result of name resolution that uses the OS jp1hosts definition file, jp1hosts2 definition file, or hosts file or DNS when the manager registers the applicable host or collects host information. The value is not the IP address actually set on the host. Also, the value might have changed when host information was collected. This is particularly true if NAT is used or multiple LANs are configured in the system.

Acquired automatically when you register a host, change host information, or collect host information. Cannot be specified directly.

OS

The name of the OS on the physical host.

Acquired automatically when host information is collected. Cannot be specified directly.

Specified directly when you register a host or change host information.

Comment

Comment about the host.

Host

The host name registered in IM Configuration Management. You cannot register identical host names.

Host name list

A list of the authoritative names and aliases of the hosts recognized by the manager. No more than five aliases can be registered by default.

Note: For details about virtualization software and virtualization environment management software, see 7.3 Virtualization configuration management.

#1: When the virtual manager type is HCSM, the version information indicates the version of the HCSM external connection interface. Therefore, the indicated version might differ from the actual HCSM version. When virtualization configuration information is collected from HCSM, a version number is not displayed on a host whose virtual manager type is Hitachi Compute Blade logical partitioning feature.

#2: ESX represents VMware ESX.
