HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.1 CLI Reference Guide (TB581-96051, May 2011)

NOTE:
Notes for registering a virtualization server with a structure that monitors VMware vCenter Server
with vMA are described below.
• Virtualization servers registered in VMware vCenter Server for a particular IP address of a virtual-
ization 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 virtu-
alization 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.
NOTE:
When using VMware ESX 3.5 with virtualization software and not vMA, registering the virtualization
server might take a few hours to complete, depending on the configuration of the virtualization server
and the number of volumes connected.
