Selecting hypervisors for SVM deployment

At this step, select the hypervisors on which you want to deploy the SVM.

When you start the wizard for the first time, the list of hypervisors is blank. If SVMs are already deployed on hypervisors in your virtual infrastructure, the table shows a list of these hypervisors and SVMs deployed on them. You can add to the list those hypervisors on which you want to deploy SVMs.

If you use Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (hereinafter "Microsoft SCVMM") for managing the virtual infrastructure, you can specify the settings of the connection to Microsoft SCVMM in order to add to the list all the hypervisor managed by it.

To add hypervisors to the list:

1. Click the Add button.

   The Virtual infrastructure connection settings window opens.

2. Specify the following settings for connecting to hypervisors on which you want to deploy SVMs, or the settings for connecting to the virtual infrastructure administration server that controls the hypervisors:
   • The type of hypervisor or virtual infrastructure administration server.
   • Addresses of hypervisors or the address of the virtual infrastructure administration server that controls the hypervisors.

     You can specify an IP address in IPv4 format or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as the address of the hypervisor or virtual infrastructure administration server. You can separate the IP addresses or full domain names of hypervisors using either a semicolon or a new line.

     You can also specify the port used for connecting to the hypervisor or to the virtual infrastructure administration server in the format <IP address>:<port>.

     The number of correctly recognized addresses is shown under the list of addresses.

   • The name and password of the account used to connect the wizard to the hypervisor or to the virtual infrastructure administration server. This account must have administrator privileges.

     If you use a domain account to connect to a hypervisor or virtual infrastructure administration server, you can specify the account name in the <domain>\<user name> or <user name>@<domain> format.

3. If you deploy an SVM on a VMware ESXi, Citrix XenServer, KVM, or Proxmox hypervisor, we recommend that you use an account that has read-only rights to connect the Integration Server to the virtual infrastructure while the application is running. Select the An account with read-only permissions check box and specify the name and password of the account that the Integration Server will use to connect to the virtual infrastructure.

   If the check box is cleared, the Integration Server uses an account with administrator privileges to connect to the virtual infrastructure.

   If you deploy an SVM on a Microsoft Windows Server hypervisor (Hyper-V), only an account with administrator rights can be used to connect the Integration Server to the virtual infrastructure.

4. Click the Connect button.

   The Virtual infrastructure connection settings window closes and the selected hypervisors are added to the list of hypervisors. If a connection could not be established with a hypervisor or virtual infrastructure administration server, information about the connection errors is displayed in the table.

The table shows the following information about hypervisors and SVMs previously deployed on hypervisors:

• Name
  

  The name of the hypervisor, the virtual infrastructure administration server, or the SVM deployed on the hypervisor.

  If restrictions apply to SVM deployment on the hypervisor or no connection has been established to the hypervisor or the virtual infrastructure administration server, a warning sign appears in the Name column. A description of the restriction or connection error is shown in the table and in the tooltip of the warning sign.

• State
  

  State of the hypervisor or SVM.

  For the hypervisor, one of the following values is specified: Enabled or Disabled. If a connection to the hypervisor could not be established, the column shows Disconnected.

  One of the following values is specified for an SVM: Enabled, Disabled.

• Protection
  

  Application version number.

You can use buttons in the Name column to:

• Delete from the list the selected hypervisor or all hypervisors controlled by the selected virtual infrastructure administration server.

  The Integration Server continues to connect to the hypervisor removed from this list or the virtual infrastructure administration server, and to receive information about the virtual infrastructure required for SVM operation.

• If you cannot connect to the hypervisor or to the virtual infrastructure administration server, open the Virtual infrastructure connection settings window to change the settings of the account used to make the connection.

You can use the Refresh button above the list to update the list of hypervisors in the table.

To select hypervisors for SVM deployment:

1. In the table, select check boxes to the left of the names of hypervisors on which you want to deploy an SVM.

   You can select hypervisors that are not subject to SVM deployment restrictions.

2. To allow parallel deployment of SVMs on several hypervisors, select the Allow parallel deployment on N hypervisors check box.

Go to the next step in the wizard.
