Figure 1-11 System configuration in which VMware ESX is operated without using vMA
In this configuration, depending on the virtualization server configuration and the number of
connected volumes, it might take several hours to register and refresh the virtualization server
in Device Manager.
IMPORTANT:
To check the most recent information about virtualization server volumes, perform either of the following
operations from Device Manager:
Manually refresh each virtualization server.
Re-register the vMA that manages the virtualization servers in Device Manager (but you do not need
to delete it).
Note that, if you change the hardware configuration of a virtualization server, after the configuration
information of the monitored virtualization server is applied to vMA and VMware vCenter Server, you
need to update (refresh) the Device Manager information. If the configuration information of virtualization
servers is set to be automatically applied to vMA and VMware vCenter Server, a time lag might occur
from the time the configuration is changed until the information is applied to vMA and VMware vCenter
Server.
For details on how to apply the configuration information of virtualization servers to vMA and VMware
vCenter Server and how to adjust the interval for applying information, see the VMware documentation.
You cannot use XP Provisioning Manager to check information about file systems and device files on a
virtualization server.
1-5-3 Mainframe host requirements
To use Device Manager web client to check the information about volumes assigned to a mainframe
host, you need to install XP mainframe agent on the mainframe host. The following table lists the
versions of XP mainframe agent supported by Device Manager.
