Server views
The Server views enable you to manage the capacity and performance of the following systems:
- UNIX or Windows machines running directly on hardware with agent data collection. These systems appear as Generic type in BMC Helix Continuous Optimization.
- Windows or Linux virtual machines with agent data collection from inside the virtual machines. These systems appear as Virtual Node type in BMC Helix Continuous Optimization.
- UNIX partitions with agent data collection from inside the partitions. These systems appear as Virtual Machine type in BMC Helix Continuous Optimization.
The following image illustrates the capabilities of Server views:
Video
The following video (3:29) provides a brief introduction of the Server views feature, which is available in both TrueSight Capacity Optimization and BMC Helix Continuous Optimization.
Certified data sources
The certified data sources for these views are as follows:
- BMC - TrueSight Capacity Optimization Gateway VIS files parser
- BMC - TrueSight Operations Management extractors
You must configure and run one of these ETL modules to import data into the view. For more information, see BMC - TrueSight Capacity Optimization Gateway VIS files parser and BMC - TrueSight Operations Management 10.7/11.0/11.3 Generic extractor.
Data visibility
The Server views display data for all systems of the following types:
- Generic
- Virtual Machine - AIX LPAR
- Virtual Machine - AIX Shared Processor LPAR
- Virtual Machine - HP Integrity
- Virtual Machine - Solaris LDOM
- Virtual Node - Hyper-V
- Virtual Node - KVM
- Virtual Node - VMware
- Virtual Node - Xen
Note
The virtual machines of the AIX LPAR, AIX Shared Processor LPAR, and AIX VIO LPAR system types are displayed only when the LPAR_INSTRUMENTED value is true in the AIX PowerVM Partitions page. LPAR_INSTRUMENTED=true indicates that an agent has been deployed inside the LPAR to collect configuration and performance data.
