Chapter 6. Management 355The lock disappears and the system can now be managed from IBM DirectorConsole.6.6 System management with VMware ESXi 3.5Understand hypervisors and implementation of them.6.6.1 Hypervisor systemsThe VMware ESXi 3.5 Embedded and Installable hypervisors offer severalmanagement features through integrated CIM and SNMP protocols.The Embedded hypervisor ESX 3i does not have a service console, unlike theInstallable version 3.5 has. This means an IBM Director agent cannot be installedto manage this system as a Level-2 Agent system in your system with theembedded hypervisor running. Instead, the Embedded hypervisor relies on CIMand SNMP for remote management.6.6.2 Implementation of x3850 M2 Hypervisor systemsIBM Director manages an embedded hypervisor system as a Level-0 system todiscover, inventory, and report color-coded hardware failure and RAID events.You do not have to possess special operating system knowledge, do not have tomaintain user accounts and passwords, and do not have to install additionalsecurity tools, antivirus tools, or the need to backup the operating system.A remote command-line interface is enabled to run scripts in the same syntax aswith previous ESX versions. It includes features for: Host configuration (esxcfg-advcfg) Storage configuration (esxcfg-nas, esxcfg-swiscsi, esxcfg-mpath, vmkfstools) Network configuration (esxcfg-vswitch, esxcfg-vnic) Maintenance and patch (esxcfg-dumpart) Backup (VCBMounter, fast copy) Monitoring (esxtop, vmkuptime)
