Virtualcenter Information - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation User Manual

VirtualCenter information

This feature is supported only on VirtualCenter 2. x and on VMware ESX 2. x and 3. x hosts and virtual
machines. To view information, VirtualCenter must be running and VirtualCenter URL credentials must be
available in Virtual Machine Management Pack.
For the ESX hosts managed by Virtual Machine Management Pack, if VirtualCenter credentials are saved
and configured in Virtual Machine Management Pack, the VirtualCenter hierarchy appears for the host as
it is in VirtualCenter.
You can import VirtualCenter clusters and resource pool information from VirtualCenter and view the
information on the System page of the virtual machine host or guest within Virtual Machine Management
Pack, instead of logging in to VirtualCenter separately.
To access VirtualCenter information, on the Guest System page or Host System page, click
VirtualCenter Information.
Cluster and resource pool nodes are created in HP SIM and the appropriate associations are displayed in
the HP SIM All Systems page the same as they are in VirtualCenter.
Nodes in HP SIM are created according to HP SIM compliance. If a cluster or a resource pool in VirtualCenter
has special characters, such as period, hyphen, or numeric, then these characters are replaced with an
underscore (_).
