JP1 Version 12 JP1/Performance Management - Remote Monitor for Virtual Machine Description, User's Guide and Reference


2.5.6 For logical partitioning feature

When the virtual environment to be monitored is one with logical partitioning feature, you must specify the IP address of the machine on which the monitoring agent is installed for that environment, in addition to performing setup through PFM - RM for Virtual Machine. However, if the monitoring agent has multiple IP addresses, specify the preferred IP address to be selected and used by the OS of the monitoring agent, that is, the IP address used by the monitoring agent, for the environment with logical partitioning feature. Also, when the system operates in a cluster system, specify the IP addresses of the executing node and standby node for the environment with logical partitioning feature, not the logical IP addresses.

For details about how to set up the IP address of the monitoring agent host in an environment with logical partitioning feature, see the manual Hitachi Compute Blade User's Guide.

When the virtual environment to be monitored is one with logical partitioning feature, you must configure both the host on which the monitoring agent is installed and the environment with that feature.

To configure the environment:

  1. Copy the HvmSh command (HvmSh.exe) from the management tool for Hitachi Compute Blade logical partitioning feature, which is included with that feature, to the following folder on the PFM - RM host:

    installation-folder\agt8\plugin\jpcagt5virtage.d\
  2. In the environment with logical partitioning feature to be monitored, set the IP address of the machine on which the monitoring agent is installed.

Important

The collection interval of records of the monitoring logical partitioning feature When you monitor logical partitioning feature using this product, Set collection interval of all performance data for instances to monitor logical partitioning feature to under ten minutes. When you monitor logical partitioning feature and set collection interval of performance data more than ten minutes, the performance data are not collected by the specifications of logical partitioning feature firmware and the HvmSh command.
