- When an agent is registered on a VM host, all VM guests running on that VM host are also registered automatically. Whenever a VM
guest is created, modified, deleted, or moved on a registered VM host, the changes are automatically updated in the server resource
tree.
- The VM guest name displayed in the ROR console is either the VM name defined in its server virtualization software or the host name
defined in the guest OS.
The timing at which the hostname of a guest OS is detected and displayed varies according its server virtualization software. For
details, refer to "D.3 Functional Differences between Products" in the "Design Guide VE".
- It is recommended not to use duplicate names for physical OSs, VM hosts and VM guests. If duplicated names are used, those resources
cannot be managed from the command-line.
- When registering a server on which the agent was installed, it is necessary to either reboot the server or restart its related services
(explained in the "2.2 Starting and Stopping the Agent" in the "Operation Guide CE") after server registration. This step has to be
done before running any image operation (system image backup or cloning image collection).
For details on how to restart the agent, refer to "2.2 Starting and Stopping the Agent" in the "Operation Guide CE".
5.5.2 Registering LAN Switches
Use the following procedure to register LAN switches:
1. Discover LAN switches. For instructions, refer to "Discovery".
2. Register LAN switches displayed in the network device tree. For instructions, refer to "Registration".
Note
When using "auto-configuration of network devices" function on a LAN switch, register it as a network device using the method described
in "5.7 Registering Network Devices" instead of re-executing LAN switch discovery.
LAN switches registered using the registration method described here will only be monitored.
Discovery
1. From the ROR console menu, select [Tools]-[Topology]-[Discover LAN switches].
The [Discover LAN Switches] dialog is displayed.
2. To use this feature, the following settings must first be defined:
Start address
Enter the start IP address of the network where to discover LAN switches.
Enter the IP address using periods ".".
Subnet mask
Enter the subnet mask of the network where to discover LAN switches.
Enter the IP address using periods ".".
Addresses in range
Enter the number of addresses to scan for LAN switches.
Enter a number greater than 1.
The maximum number of addresses is determined by the number of hosts allowed by the subnet mask.
Example
If subnet mask is "255.255.255.0", the number of addresses in the specified range could be any value between 1 and 256.
