(2) Example of setting up an instance environment
(3) Example of setting up monitoring targets

(1) Assumed VMware environment

The explanation in this subsection assumes that the user has the following VMware environment:

Monitored host

Virtual environment software: VMware ESXi
Physical server host name: vm-host
Login user name^#: user01
Login password^#: pass01
Domain name: None

(3) Example of setting up monitoring targets

The following shows an example of executing a command to set up a monitoring target.

C:\Program Files\Hitachi\jp1pc\tools>jpcconf target setup -key RMVM -inst vmware1 -target vm-host   ...1
 Target Host        []           :vm-host <Enter>       ...2

 Private_Key_File   []           :<Enter>               ...9
KAVE05361-I The monitoring target is now being added. (servicekey=RMVM, inst=vmware1, target=vm-host)
KAVE05362-I The monitoring target has been added. (servicekey=RMVM, inst=vmware1, target=vm-host)

Legend:

<Enter>: Enter key must be pressed.

1 through 9: Number of the corresponding step in the setup procedure.

To set up a monitoring target (as in the above example):

Execute the jpcconf target setup command.

Specify vm-host, which is the host name of a physical server, as the name of a monitoring target.
