3.3.4 Notes when collecting the virtualization configuration
-
When collecting the virtualization configuration, the IP address of the collected host will not be set.
-
If virtualization configuration information is to be collected from versions of virtualization environment management software that are not supported by JP1/IM - Manager, the following message might be issued and the collection might fail:
KNAN22066-E Collection of the virtualization configuration failed because communication with host "host-name" was not possible.
For information about the virtualization environment management software that is supported, see the release note for JP1/IM - Manager.
-
When collecting virtualization configurations from JP1/SC/CM When you collect virtualization configurations from JP1/SC/CM, an HVM IP address is set as the VMM host name.
-
When collecting the virtualization information from the SCVMM and vCenter, do not specify ports other than the default port (SCVMM VMM Server:8100, vCenter Server HTTP:80, vCenter Server HTTPS:433) as the port used by SCVMM's VMM server to communicate with the management console, or the port used by vCenter Server.
-
SCVMM:
You cannot collect the virtualization configuration when you specify ports other than the default.
-
vCenter:
When you have changed either of the HTTP or HTTPS ports, and when the other port remains as default, specify the default port (communication type) for communication. If you change both ports to ports other than the default, you cannot collect the virtualization configuration.
-
-
When you run several types of virtualization environment management software (SCVMM or vCenter) on the same host, and when you collect the virtualization configuration from JP1/IM - Manager, use the following settings:
(1) Set the aliases of the hosts on which several types of virtualization environment management software are running to the host on which JP1/IM - Manager is running. Set the same number of aliases as the number of types of virtualization environment management software that are used.
(2) Register all the aliases of the hosts set on JP1/IM - Manager in the above process (1), and set the information of each type of virtualization environment management software to each host. When collecting the virtualization configuration, execute the collection by host, or execute batch collection, as normal.
Note: For IM configurations, do not use the aliases defined in (1).
-
Configurations in which Hyper-V and the virtualization environment management software (either SCVMM, vCenter, or JP1/SC/CM) are on the same host are not supported by JP1/IM - Manager. When you collect the virtualization configuration from JP1/IM - Manager, run Hyper-V and the virtualization environment management software on separate hosts.
-
When you use a guest OS not supported by SCVMM (Hyper-V) and vCenter (VMWare ESX), you cannot collect the information of the guest OS by using JP1/IM - Manager.
