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 namespace 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.

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 - AIX VIO LPAR
  • Virtual Machine - Solaris Dynamic System Domain
  • Virtual Machine - Solaris LDOM
  • Virtual Machine - VMware  
  • Virtual Machine - Xen 
  • Virtual Machine - Hyper-V 
  • Virtual Machine - HP Integrity 
  • Virtual Machine - KVM
  • Virtual Machine - AWS
  • Virtual Machine - Azure 
  • Virtual Machine - Google Cloud 
  • Virtual Machine - Acropolis
Warning

Important

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.
