3.3.3 Using Central Scope to monitor a virtualization configuration
This subsection describes how to configure a monitoring tree that allows Central Scope to monitor a virtualization configuration.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Prerequisites for the Central Scope monitoring tree
To monitor a virtualization configuration, the tree part of the monitored hosts displayed in Central Scope's monitoring tree is grouped. A monitoring tree of a virtualization configuration is then created. Therefore, in order to create a monitoring tree of a virtualization configuration, Central Scope must provide a server-oriented monitoring tree in which monitored objects are grouped by server.
If you create a monitoring tree of a virtualization configuration from a monitoring tree that is not server-oriented, you must modify the created monitoring tree.
(2) Applying virtualization configuration information to the Central Scope monitoring tree
Use either of the following methods to apply virtualization configuration information to the Central Scope monitoring tree.
(a) Using the IM Configuration Management window
-
In the IM Configuration Management window, from the menu bar, choose Operation, Virtualization Configuration, and then Apply to Central Scope Monitoring Tree.
The virtualization configuration information is applied to the Central Scope monitoring tree.
(b) Importing virtualization configuration information
After you collect virtualization configuration information, perform the procedure below to import it. For details about how to collect virtualization configuration information, see 3.3.2 Collecting virtualization system configuration information.
For details about the commands described here, see the command descriptions in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
-
jcfexport command: See jcfexport in Chapter 1. Commands.
-
jcfmkcsdata command: See jcfmkcsdata in Chapter 1. Commands.
-
jcsdbimport command: See jcsdbimport in Chapter 1. Commands.
-
jcsdbexport command: See jcsdbexport in Chapter 1. Commands.
-
Execute the jcfexport command to export the information managed by IM Configuration Management.
The exported information is output to the host input information file (host_input_data.csv).
For details about the information managed by IM Configuration Management that can be exported, see 7.8.1 Types of information that can be imported or exported in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
-
Execute the jcfmkcsdata command to create a configuration file for monitoring tree to be updated with the information managed by IM Configuration Management.
Specify the following options in the jcfmkcsdata command.
Option
Value
-f
Specify the name of the host input information file (host_input_data.csv) exported in step 1 and the name of the configuration file for monitoring tree that was created beforehand by using the jcsdbexport command.
-o
Specify the output destination for the configuration file for monitoring tree that is updated with the information managed by IM Configuration Management.
-
Execute the jcsdbimport command to import the configuration file for monitoring tree created in step 2 to Central Scope.
When you execute the jcsdbimport command, all the statuses in the monitoring tree are deleted.
