CA Server Automation manages VMware vSphere and vCenter Server virtual environments. The vCenter Server is the central component which CA Server Automation and the vCenter AIM use to access the vSphere environment. SystemEDGE and the vCenter AIM run on the CA Server Automation manager server or on an arbitrary Windows server.
CA Server Automation provides connection and operational support for all VMware vCenter Server operations. The manager is responsible for managing connections, performing VM-related operations, and populating the database with data retrieved from VMware vCenter Server. The provisioning service performs VMware vCenter Server operations including cloning, power operations, resource and share adjustments, and snapshot management.
The vCenter AIM communicates with one or more remote vCenter Server instances through web-services. The AIM communicates with the manager through SNMP. If more than one vCenter AIM is available to manage a vCenter Server, you can specify your preferred vCenter AIM during configuration or you can let the manager choose it on its own.
Note: When you run the vCenter AIM without the CA Server Automation manager in an eHealth, or Spectrum Infrastructure Manager environment, the AIM supports single-instance mode only.
