CA ITCM supports platform virtualization, which is the encapsulation of computers or operating systems wherein their physical characteristics are hidden from users and they emulate the computing platform at runtime.
In the previous release, support was provided by the Partitioned UNIX Server agent. In this release, the functionality of the Partitioned UNIX Server agent has been fully integrated with the new AM remote agent, and this agent can now be configured exclusively in the DSM Explorer to collect information for virtual hosts.
The AM remote agent runs on virtual host computers and performs the following tasks:
The collected information shows up in the DSM Explorer inventory tree and reflects the specific properties of a virtual host. HP, IBM, Sun, and VMware ESX servers are presented as computer units. A computer unit shows up for each of the managed guest computers.
The virtual host and its associated managed guest computers are reported as related computers, and you can easily navigate between both.
The additional AM remote agent can be installed on any AIX, HP, Linux, Solaris SPARC and x86, and Windows agent machine.
Each managed guest machine is shown as a separate computer in the DSM Explorer tree view.
