Registering hosts by using Host Data Collector
Use Host Data Collector to discover and register multiple hosts, virtualization servers, and virtual
machines in a single task.
Prerequisites
• Gather the following information:
• Host OS type
• Host IP address (IPv4)
NOTE:
To detect multiple hosts at the same time, specify a subnet or a range of 256 or fewer IP
addresses, or specify individual IP addresses.
• User name and password for logging on to the host (with Administrator or superuser permissions)
NOTE:
When specifying users other than the root, you need to specify environment settings for when
general users are used to collect host information on the host side. For details about how to
specify settings, see the
HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide.
• IP address of Host Data Collector (IPv4 or IPv6) or Host Name
• Gather the following information when registering a virtualization server:
• IP address of Host Data Collector (IPv4 or IPv6) or Host Name
• IP address of VMware vCenter Server or a virtualization server (IPv4 or IPv6)
NOTE:
To register a virtualization server, you cannot specify a subnet, a range, and multiple IP
addresses.
• User name and password of a user (who has the role of system administrator) for logging on
to vCenter Server or virtualization servers
NOTE:
If vCenter Server is being used, enter the user name and password for vCenter Server. If vCenter
Server is not being used, you need to enter and register user names and passwords of
virtualization servers one by one if multiple virtualization servers are being managed.
• Verify that target hosts are connected to the network.
• Specify environment settings for virtualization servers. For details see the HP XP7 Command View
Advanced Edition Administrator Guide.
