I was wondering if someone could explain how the FSM can manage my Vmware Enviro
nment?
I understand that you can use vmcontrol, but do you need to install agents on th
e vcenter server?
does the vcenter server need to live on a node within the chassis or can it be a
nother node (rack server)?
thanks for your response.
Regarding your question. There's been some confusion in the way IBM represents V
Mcontrol. In my experience VMcontrol can do some things for VMware like put a ho
st in maintenance mode and/or migrate VMs between hosts among some other feature
s. These jobs can be scheduled as well as run in real-time. However, it is confu
sing in that it makes it appear as if agents need to be installed in ESXi, this
is not the case and only applies to Power system visualization. For what you wan
t you need to manage your vCenter server and it does not need to live within the
PureFlex Chassis.
To
1)
2)
3)

do this perform the following:

Go to System Discovery then enter the IP address of your vCenter server.
Once found gain access by clicking on the 'No Access' link.
After access is gained, collect inventory on the vCenter server.

Once these steps are completed you should begin to see your ESXi hosts populate
as virtual servers. If they do not, you may want to run inventory on the individ
ual hosts as well.
Last thing is to ensure everything in your chassis is at the lastest code level
especially the FSM.
