Mapping
Real

Servers

to

VMware

Virtual

Machines
This
section

describes

how

ANM

maps

ACE,

CSS,

CSM,

or

CSM-S

real

servers

to

VMware

vCenter
Server
VMs

when

you

integrate

ANM

with

a

VMware

virtual

data

center.

This

section

also

shows

how
you
can

display

and

manage

the

mappings

associated

with

a

VMware

vCenter

Server.
Note
To
map

a

real

server

to

a

VM,

the

real

server

must

be

associated
with
a

server
farm
(see

the
“Configuring
Server
Farms”

section

on

page

8-30 ).
ANM
uses

the

following

methods

to

map

a

real

server

to

a

VM:

•
IP
Match—ANM

matching
the
real

server
IP

addresses

to

the

VM

IP

address.

This

is

the

default
mapping
method

that

ANM

uses

and

requires

the

following

items:

–

Before

you

import

a

VMware

vCenter

Server

into

ANM

along

with

its

associated

VMs,
configure
a

real

server

in

ANM

for

each

VM

about

to

be

imported

with

the

vCenter

Server.
Configure
each

real

server

with

the

IP

address

of

a

VM.

For

more

information,

see

the
“Configuring
Real

Servers”

section

on

page

8-5

and

the

“Importing

VMware

vCenter

Servers”
section
on

page

5-24 .

–

ANM

must

be

able

to

determine

the

IP

address

of

a

VM,

which

is

accomplished

by

installing
VMware
Tools

on

the

guest

operating

system

(OS)

of

the

VM.

•
Name
Match—ANM
matches

the

real

server

name

to

the

VM

name.

This

is

the

backup
mapping
method
that

ANM

uses

if

it

cannot

match

any

IP

address

for

the

VM.

This

method

requires
consistent
use

of

t

he

device

names

throughout

the

network.
