The ESXi Host is the VMware Virtual Machine manager (VMM) or hypervisor associated with a specific blade. Any configuration changes to Virtual Machines should be done from the vCenter user interface. If vCenter sync is enabled and successful, Virtual Machines are added, edited, and deleted through the vCenter sync. The Virtual Machine Summary page displays a list of the Virtual Machines in your Cisco HCS as well as basic details about each one. Any configuration changes to VMware Clusters should be done from the vCenter user interface.Ī Virtual Machine is the machine deployed by VMware within a VMware Cluster. If vCenter sync is enabled and successful, VMware Clusters are added, edited, and deleted through the vCenter sync. The VMware Cluster Summary page displays a list of the VMware Clusters in your Cisco HCS as well as basic details about each one. The Data Center may be owned by the service provider or by a customer.Ī VMware Cluster is a logical grouping of ESXi Hosts and Virtual Machines in the VMware infrastructure. Any configuration changes to VMware Data Centers should be done from the vCenter user interface.Ĭonfigure one Data Center for each physical Data Center that hosts equipment in the Cisco HCS deployment. If vCenter sync is enabled, and successful, VMware Data Centers are added, edited, and deleted through the vCenter sync. The VMware Data Center Summary page displays a list of the VMware Data Centers in your Cisco HCS as well as basic details about each one.

If the vCenter is managing VMware infrastructure that spans multiple Data Centers, configure the vCenter in the Data Center in which the vCenter server itself is deployed.Ī VMware Data Center is a logical grouping of VMware Clusters. In addition, if sync is enabled, modifications directly from the GUI are prohibited.įor vCenter Sync to funtion at least one vCenter, vCenter credentials and vCenter network address information must be added.Ī vCenter should be configured for each vCenter server deployed in the Data Center. If Sync enabled is checked, the VMware Data Center, VMware Cluster, Virtual Machine, and ESXi Host are auto-synced from the vCenter. You can manually configure or automatically synchronize vCenter data with vSphere. It provides centralized control and visibility at every level of virtual infrastructure and unlocks the power of the vSphere through proactive management. This fault correlation helps system administrators more quickly troubleshoot and isolate problems in the network.Ī UCS Manager should be configured for each UCS Manager deployed in the Data Center.Ī vCenter is the hypervisor manager from VMware. When this linkage is made in the Infrastructure Manager configuration, the Service Assurance components of Cisco HCS can perform advanced fault correlation by attributing failures in the UCS hardware with alarms from ESXi Hosts, virtual machines, and customer applications. Furthermore, each blade should be linked to an ESXi Host in the vCenter configuration. UCS Managers and their associated chassis and blades should be configured to match the hardware resources in the Data Center. These hardware resources are used to run the Virtual Machines for the customer applications such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Each Data Center typically contains at least one UCS Manager and associated chassis and blades. The Unified Computing System Manager (UCS Manager) provides centralized management for a Unified Computing System, which is comprised of multiple chassis, each with multiple blades. A Data Center will typically house one or more Unified Computing Systems (UCS), one or more Storage Array Networks (SANs), VMware and vCenter infrastructure, several Data Center monitoring applications (DCNM), and networking infrastructure to tie it all together. Table 7-1 Infrastructure Manager Element DescriptionĮach Data Center in the Shared Data Repository represents a physical Data Center involved in the Cisco HCS deployment. These elements appear as configuration options in the Infrastructure Manager. The following section contains information on the elements available in the Infrastructure Manager.
