Figure 1-10 System configuration in which vMA monitors VMware vCenter Server
In
Figure 1-10, when you specify the information of vMA, virtualization servers A, B, and C are
registered in Device Manager.
CAUTION:
If you change the information (such as IP address and user account) of the CIMOM interface for vMA,
you must re-register the vMA in Device Manager (but you do not need to delete it).
If you add virtualization servers to or delete virtualization servers from VMware vCenter Server
management, you must re-register, in Device Manager, the instance of vMA that monitors that instance of
VMware vCenter Server (but you do not need to delete it).
If you change which instance of VMware vCenter Server manages virtualization servers, you must
perform the following operations from Device Manager:
a. Change the communication parameter setting for the virtualization server to the information of the
instance of vMA that monitors the instance of VMware vCenter Server that now manages the
virtualization server.
b. Update (refresh) the virtualization server information.
Configuration in which vMA is not used
In Device Manager, this configuration of virtualization server can be used only if the
virtualization software is VMware ESX 3.5.
To register a virtualization server in Device Manager, specify the information (such as IP
address and user account) about the CIMOM interface for VMware ESX.
Figure 1-11 shows an example of a system configuration in which VMware ESX is operated
without using vMA.
