Configuring VMware Infrastructure 3 平台 and 智慧型管理

To configure 智慧型管理 to work with VMware Infrastructure 3 平台, you must configure security so that the servers can communicate with each other and configure custom properties on your deployment manager to define the vCenterESX servers.

Before you begin

  • Your VMware Infrastructure 3 平台 environment must be on servers that are running Solaris Operating Environment on Intel hardware, Windows, or Linux x86 operating systems.
  • You must use VMware products that support VMware Infrastructure 3 平台. The supported versions are:
    • VMware VirtualCenter Version 2.5
    • VMware ESX Versions 5.0 and 5.5
    • VMware vSphere Version 5.0 andVersion 5.5 all of which include VMware ESXi and VMware vCenter Server
    The documentation generically refers to these servers with the following terminology:
    • ESX server: Refers to VMware ESX Versions 5.0 and 5.5 or a VMware ESXi server in VMware vSphere Version 5.0 and Version 5.5.
    • vCenter server: Refers to VMware VirtualCenter Version 2.5 or a VMware vCenter server in VMware vSphere Version 5.0 and Version 5.5.

About this task

When you have multiple nodes running on a physical computer with VMware Infrastructure 3 平台, 智慧型管理 can contact VMware through Web services. You can configure this communication in the administrative console by creating cell-wide custom properties. These custom properties define the URL, user ID, and password for the vCenterESX servers. You also must configure your key stores to retrieve signers from the vCenterESX servers.

The 智慧型管理 configuration depends on your VMware configuration. Create the custom properties for the servers in your environment so that 智慧型管理 can monitor all of the virtual machines and physical computers. To set the custom properties on the cell level, click System administration > Cell > Custom properties.
  • If you are using only ESX servers, you must configure enough of the individual servers to make 智慧型管理 aware of the physical servers and virtual machines in the environment.
  • If you are using a vCenter server to manage your environment, you can connect to the vCenter server, which establishes communication with all of the virtual machines and servers that the vCenter server manages. You do not need to connect to each ESX server. If a vCenter is available, the best practice is to connect to the vCenter server instead of each ESX server.
  • If you are running multiple vCenter servers with a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) to provide high availability, you can configure the key stores and custom properties for each vCenter server.

If you do not configure 智慧型管理 to work with VMware Infrastructure 3 平台, the 智慧型管理 environment does not understand that the nodes are on virtual machines, and as a result, the machine processor or memory might be overloaded.

Procedure

Results

By configuring 智慧型管理 to work with vCenterESX, you obtain better service differentiation management results than by using vCenterESX alone. With 智慧型管理, you can add application-level goals and characteristics, so that the autonomic managers can perform the necessary flow control in your virtualized environment.

What to do next

If timeout errors occur, you can increase the com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.connectionTimeout and com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.SocketTimeout custom property values from the default of 300 seconds to 600 seconds. Consider making this change when you have a virtualized environment with a large number of physical and virtual machines. For example, if your environment has 400 physical machines, when requests are sent from 智慧型管理 to the hypervisor for configuration information, the hypervisor contacts each of the 400 physical machines. If each request takes 1 second to complete, the default timeout of 300 seconds is not long enough to process all of the requests, and a read timeout results. For more information about the custom properties, read about HTTP transport custom properties for Web services applications.
