#1:

If both Host Data Collector and the Device Manager agent manage information about normal

hosts or virtual machines, the Device Manager GUI or CLI uses the information acquired by the

Device Manager agent.

#2:

Host Data Collector installed in Windows can manage virtualization servers, but Host Data Col-

lector installed in Linux cannot manage them.

• With Host Data Collector:

Host Data Collector can manage normal hosts, virtual machines, and virtualization servers.

Network hosts that are found from the Device Manager GUI or CLI are registered in Device

Manager.

• With Device Manager agent:

The Device Manager agent can manage normal hosts and virtual machines.

When the Device Manager agent is installed on a host, the host is registered in Device Manager.

• With vMA:

vMA can manage virtualization servers.

Virtualization servers that are managed by vMA and found from the Device Manager GUI or CLI

are registered in Device Manager.

Note that vMA can manage only VMware ESX 4.x virtualization servers or VMware ESXi 4.x

virtualization servers.

• With P9000 mainframe agent:

The P9000 mainframe agent can manage mainframe hosts.

Using the Device Manager CLI, register both the mainframe hosts that you want to manage and

P9000 mainframe agent which you will use to manage those hosts, in Device Manager.

NOTE:

• Use vMA to manage virtualization servers in an environment in which Plug-in for Virtualization

Server Provisioning is used.
