7.3.4 Displaying virtualization system configuration

You can display a virtualization system configuration in the tree display area on the Host List page of the IM Configuration Management window. If all of the following conditions are met, the window displays a host hierarchy in which physical hosts on which virtual hosts are running are displayed as parent hosts and virtual hosts are displayed as subordinate hosts:

Conditions for displaying the host hierarchy on the Host List page:

Virtual host is set for the host type in the host information.
A VMM server is installed on the relevant host.
The VMM server installed on the relevant host appears on the Host List page.

The following figure illustrates how to display a virtualization system configuration.

Figure 7‒19: Display of a virtualization system configuration

In the above figure, hostA, hostB, and hostE are physical hosts, and hostC and hostD are virtual hosts configured on the physical host hostB. You can check a virtualization system configuration by collecting host information and virtualization configuration information from individual hosts and displaying the information in the IM configuration management viewer.

The following figure shows an example window displaying a virtualization system configuration in the IM configuration management viewer.

Virtual hosts registered by executing Collect Virtualization Configuration are displayed in the order they are registered.

Importing information of hosts in virtualization system configuration deletes host information, system hierarchy (IM configuration), and profiles that are held by IM Configuration Management. To manage profiles, you must collect host information, IM configuration, and profiles after importing the host information.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Displaying both higher and lower hierarchical levels for the same host

(1) Displaying both higher and lower hierarchical levels for the same host

If a virtual host in a virtualization system configuration displayed on the Host List page meets the following two conditions, the Host List page displays two hierarchies. One shows the VMM server of the virtual host as a higher-level host, and one shows other hosts that are configured as VMM servers as lower-level hosts.

The VMM server of the virtual host is a physical host.
The host list includes hosts configured as VMM servers.

A hierarchy displaying hosts that are configured as VMM servers as lower-level hosts is displayed at the same level as the VMM server of the virtual host.
