Use this window to add, change, or resume VM managers by
specifying or changing connection parameters.
Tip: The time it takes for the server to connect to
a VM manager depends on the settings of the vmManagerPollingInterval parameter
of the setserverconf command. The default is 30 minutes.
Use the
Test Connection button to test the
connection with the VM manager in order to verify that you have specified
the correct Web address and credentials.
- Host name, IP address, or full Web address
- You can specify either the full URL, or only the host name or
IP address. In the second case, the full VM manager address will be built
on the server side basing on the selected type of the VM manager.
Each VM manager in the table must have different Web address, that
is, only one entry is allowed for a given URL.
Important: When
providing the full Web address, you have to specify the protocol,
for example https://virtualcenter/sdk. Refer to the VM manager
documentation in case of any problems.
- Type
- WebSphere CloudBurst
- Microsoft Hyper-V (With Microsoft Hyper-V, you can select the check
box below the Select Type list to use the same
credentials with other hosts in the same cluster.)
- VMware ESX, ESXi, or vCenter
- User name
- User login specified for a given VM manager.
- Password
- Password specified for a given VM manager.
Note: For
the server to see the agent hierarchy on virtual machines managed
by a given VM manager, the user has to have sufficient authority to
see those virtual machines.
After adding a new VM manger, you should check the number of servers
that is displayed in the Partition Assignment History window
for the chosen agent because after adding a VM manger, both the agent
and the VM manager collect information about your infrastructure on
a given day.
