As a System Administrator, you want to manage a new Huawei GalaX environment with CA Virtual Assurance. CA Virtual Assurance allows you to manage the physical and virtual resources of one or more GalaX environments dynamically. Huawei GalaX consists of Elastic Service Controller (ESC) that communicates with one or more Computing Resource Managers (CRMs). The CRMs communicate with multiple Computing Node Agents (CNAs).
To manage GalaX, CA Virtual Assurance requires network connections between its GalaX Platform Management Module (PMM), GalaX Application Insight Module (AIM), and the Elastic Service Controller (ESC). To establish these network connections, configure the CA Virtual Assurance GalaX management components, that is, GalaX PMM and GalaX AIM.
The GalaX AIM is a SystemEDGE agent plug-in which extends the functional scope of SystemEDGE. The GalaX AIM enables SystemEDGE to monitor the performance of multiple GalaX environments and to evaluate the states of monitored GalaX resources. Based on thresholds, SystemEDGE and the AIM determine the status of a monitored resource and propagate this information to the CA Virtual Assurance manager using SNMP.
The GalaX PMM is a component of the CA Virtual Assurance manager. The PMM is responsible for providing connection and support for all Huawei GalaX operations using SOAP. The PMM manages connections with Computing Resource Manager, performs GalaX-related operations, retrieves data from the AIM, and populates the CA Virtual Assurance Management Database.
The following diagram shows the interaction of the affected components in an example environment with two GalaX ESCs. In general, the GalaX PMM and each GalaX AIM with its multi-instance support can connect to multiple Elastic Service Controllers. The connections shown in the diagram do not specify any limitations. The required network connections are based on TCP/IP, SNMP, and SOAP.
