HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.4.1-00 CLI Reference Guide (TB581-96335, April 2013)

NOTE:
• Device Manager uses vMA or Host Data Collector to register a virtualization server.
- vMA: Can be used in VMware ESX 4.x or VMware ESXi 4.x.
- Host Data Collector: Can be used in VMware ESX 4.x, VMware ESXi 4.x, or VMware ESXi 5.x.
• The information collection method of a virtualization server that was registered with vMA can be
switched to using Host Data Collector. However, management cannot be switched from management
using Host Data Collector to management using vMA.
• To use Host Data Collector, Host Data Collector must be installed on a Windows machine. Also,
Host Data Collector must be configured in the property file hostdatacollectors.proper-
ties, which contains properties for connecting to Host Data Collector. For how to set up Host
Data Collector, see the manual HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Ad-
ministrator Guide .
• Notes for registering a virtualization server with a configuration in which VMware vCenter Server
is used to perform integrated management on virtualization servers are described below.
- Virtualization servers registered in VMware vCenter Server for a particular IP address of a virtu-
alization server are registered on the Device Manager server with the IP address as the host name.
This is because the name of a virtualization server registered on a VMware vCenter Server is re-
gistered as the Device Manager server host name .
- If the virtualization server is cut off from VMware vCenter Server and then reconnected, that
virtualization server might not be registered correctly in the Device Manager server. In this situation,
use the management client for the virtualization server to remove the target virtualization server
from VMware vCenter Server, and then register it again. After that, register it on the Device
Manager server.
Format
When registering information about a virtualization server with vMA:
hdvmcli [URL] AddVirtualizationServer [options]
ipaddress=IP-address-of-vMA hosttype=3
hostprotocol={Secure|Non-secure} hostuserid=user-ID-of-vMA
hostuserpassword=user-password-of-vMA
When registering information about a virtualization server with Host Data Collector:
hdvmcli [URL] AddVirtualizationServer [options]
ipaddress=IP-address-of-virtualization-server
#
hosttype=3
hostprotocol={Secure|Non-secure} hostuserid=user-ID-of-virtualization-server
#
hostuserpassword=user-password-of-virtualization-server
#
hdcipaddress=IP-address-of-Host Data Collector
#
Specify the value of VMware vCenter Server in a configuration in which VMware vCenter Server
is used to perform integrated management on virtualization servers.
