You can use custom properties to configure the product to connect to the VMware Infrastructure SDK (VI SDK) web service endpoints.
The cpuLimitForCappedVMs custom property defines the target processor utilization percentage for Intelligent Management processes that run on virtual machines. This custom property value is maintained for virtual machines that have a defined processor utilization limit.
You can specify the cpuLimitForCappedVMs custom property on the cell with a percent value between 0 - 95%. If you specify 100%, the limit is equal to the limit that is placed on the virtual machine in the VMware software.
The custom property value is the target utilization that Intelligent Management maintains for virtual machines that have processor utilization limits. This value is the highest value that maintains virtual machine and system stability.
The vmware.service.unique_ID.url custom property specifies the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the VMware web services endpoint.
https://myserver.ibm.com/sdk
The unique_id value in the custom property name is optional. You can specify the unique_id value if you are specifying multiple sets of custom properties for each VMware server. For example, you might name the custom property as vmware.service.vmwareserver1.url. As a convention, you can specify the host name of the vCenter or ESX server for the unique_id value.
The vmware.service.unique_id.userid custom property specifies the user ID to access the vCenter or ESX server.
root
The unique_id value in the custom property name is optional. You can specify the unique_id value if you are specifying multiple sets of custom properties for each vCenter or ESX server. For example, you might name the custom property as vmware.service.vmwareserver1.userid. As a convention, you can specify the host name of the vCenter or ESX server for the unique_id value.
The terminateSession privilege is needed because the VMware SDK requires this privilege so that the shim obtains a list of active login sessions on a specific endpoint. The terminateSession privilege is also required for one login session to terminate another session. However, this aspect of the privilege is only used to check whether Intelligent Management is logged in multiple times, to ensure that it is not incorrectly configured to have two separate objects that connect to the same endpoint.
The vmware.service.unique_id.password custom property specifies the password to access the vCenter or ESX server.
myPassword
The value can be an encoded
password. To encode your password, you can use the wve_encodePassword.sh|bat script.
This script is in the app_server_root/bin directory. The unique_id value in the custom property name is optional. You can specify the unique_id value if you are specifying multiple sets of custom properties for each vCenter or ESX server. For example, you might name the custom property as vmware.service.vmwareserver1.password. As a convention, you can specify the host name of the vCenter or ESX server for the unique_id value.
The vmware.service.unique_ID.importMachinesWithWASNodesOnly custom property, when set to true, causes Intelligent Management to import data only for virtual machines that have linked WebSphere® nodes. This can reduce WebSphere memory usage in a large VMware environment with many virtual machines that don't have linked WebSphere nodes. The uniqueID value is required and must match the uniqueID value used in the other properties.
