– Add an entry to map its own IP address (not the loop
back address) with the Hostname. This is to ensure that
the Alert Event Notifications (AENs) are delivered
correctly.
– For networks that has DNS configured, the "hosts" file in the
machine on which MSM is installed must be edited as follows:
– When you do the initial configurations for the VMWare
host, provide the correct DNS server IP address.
– In the hosts file of the machine on which MSM is
installed, add an entry to map its own IP address (not
the loop back address) with the Hostname. This is to
ensure that the Asynchronous Event Notifications
(AENs) are delivered correctly.
5. The VMWare hosts are discovered only when the Framework service
starts on the host where MSM is installed.
6. It takes a while to discover the CIMOM servers. If you start the MSM
client immediately after you install MSM (or restart Framework
service), you will not be able to discover any hosts in the network.
7. The VMWare ESX3i does not support the heartbeat mechanism to
let MSM know whether VMWare ESX3i is still connected. When the
connection to the remote VMWare ESX3i is lost, MSM does not
indicate this. The only option is to rediscover by restarting the MSM
framework.
8. This is supported only on a full installation of MSM; standalone,
client-only, and server-only modes do not support VMWare ESX3i
management.
9. Supported on following guest operating systems:
– Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008
– Linux RHEL 4 and 5
10. The following describes the status of components related to VMWare
ESX3i:
– MSM client GUI is supported.
– There is no support for Monitor Configurator; you cannot
configure the severity of the AENs.
– There is no pop-up service support.
