Chapter 3: Administration and setup
At the end of the Configuration Wizard, the Configuration Summary screen is
displayed. This screen displays the data collection schedules that are in progress
and provides information about how the collections are performing.
This completes the basic configuration of Virtualization Manager and if all
collections are completed as scheduled, you will be able to query for virtual
machine data shortly from the main interface by clicking Home and entering a
query in the search interface.
Configuring HTTPS access only
You can block HTTP access to the web console. By doing this you can make
HTTPS the only allowed protocol through which to access the console.
To block HTTP access:
1. Log on to the administration website of the installation
(https://ipAddress:5480) as user admin with the password admin .
2. Navigate to SolarWinds Mgmt.
3. Click Block HTTP access.
4. Restart the virtual appliance by clicking Restart Virtualization Manager.
Enabling Dynamic Memory on Hyper-V 2008 servers
Virtualization Manager requires using Dynamic Memory in Hyper-V. A system
such as Windows Server 2008 without SP that does not have the capability of
providing dynamic memory usage will report memory utilization at 100%. To
ensure that correct memory utilization values are shown in memory calculations
and alerts, enable Dynamic Memory.
To enable Dynamic Memory:
1. Launch the Hyper-V Manager.
2. Shut down the virtual machine.
3. Right-click the virtual machine, and then click Settings.
4. Navigate to Hardware > Memory.
