HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.6.0-00 Administrator Guide (Web Version)

If you move a virtual machine from one virtualization server to another :
You need to update (refresh) the information of the source and destination virtualization servers
in Device Manager. After moving a virtual machine, if there are no volumes assigned to the source
virtualization server, manually delete the information about the source virtualization server from
Device Manager.
If a virtual WWN was added or changed:
1. Execute the createnpivinfo command to register the virtual WWN in Device Manager.
This operation must be performed if vMA is used to manage virtualization servers.
2. Use the Device Manager GUI or CLI to refresh the information about virtual machines and
virtualization servers registered in Device Manager.
If a command device was configured or released:
Restart the virtualization server.
If you change the host name of a virtual machine or remove a virtual machine:
Make sure that you update the npivmapping.properties file manually.
In Windows:
installation-folder-for-Device-Manager-server\Server\config\
npivmapping.properties
In Linux:
installation-directory-for-Device-Manager-server/Server/config/
npivmapping.properties

Prerequisites for virtualization servers
Device Manager requires Host Data Collector or vMA to manage virtualization servers.
Device Manager uses Host Data Collector or vMA to collect machine information about virtualization
servers and information about volumes allocated to the virtualization servers.
The required system configuration and environment settings differ depending on whether Host Data
Collector or vMA is used to manage virtualization servers.
Prerequisites for virtualization servers managed by Host Data Collector
To manage virtualization servers from Host Data Collector, you must install Host Data Collector.
VMware ESX 4.x, VMware ESXi 4.x or VMware ESXi 5.x is the virtualization server that can be
managed by Host Data Collector.
