3.5.1 Info Perspective

The Info perspective is common to many elements within the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface. This perspective always shows the individually configured parameters for an item that is currently selected in the navigation tree. Some of these configured parameters may be automatically populated through a discovery process, while others may have been configured manually during the creation of the object that is selected.

This perspective includes the following information:

  • Server Name: The configured name for the server.

  • Host Name: The hostname of the server on the management network channel.

  • Status: The running status of the server. If the status is UNKNOWN, this may be because the server is not owned by the instance of Oracle VM Manager. To take ownership of an Oracle VM Server, see Section 3.4.2.2, “Edit Server”.

  • Processors: The number of processors on the server.

  • Ethernet Ports: The number of Ethernet ports detected on the server.

  • Maintenance Mode: Whether or not the server is configured in maintenance mode.

  • Inbound Migration Locked: Whether or not the server allows additional virtual machines to run.

  • Ownership: Whether or not the server is owned by the current Oracle VM Manager instance.

  • Server Pool: The name of the server pool that the server belongs to.

  • Roles: Whether the server has the Utility Server role, VM Server role, or both.

  • NTP Servers: A list of NTP servers that are configured for the server.

  • IP Address: The configured IP address for the server.

  • Processor Speed (GHz): The speed of the processors on the server.

  • Memory (GiB): The memory on the server in GiB.

  • Bond Ports: The number of bond ports that are configured on the server.

  • CPU Compatibility Group: The name of the server processor compatibility group that the server belongs to.

  • Processor Type: The processor type used for the server.

  • Hypervisor Type: The hypervisor used for the server.

  • Version: The version number of the Oracle VM Server software on the server.

  • Advanced:

    • ID: The UUID assigned to the server by Oracle VM Manager.

    • Manufacturer: The manufacturer of the server reported by the server BIOS.

    • Serial Number: The serial number of the server reported by the server BIOS.

    • Product Name: The product name of the server reported by the server BIOS.

    • Processor Family: The processor family reported by the server BIOS.

    • Processor Model: The processor model reported by the server BIOS.

    • Cache Size (KB): The processor cache size reported by the server BIOS.

    • BIOS Version: The BIOS version number for the server.

    • BIOS Release Date: The BIOS version release date for the server.

    • Sockets Filled: The number of processor sockets that are in use on the server.

    • Manager UUID: The UUID of the Oracle VM Manager instance that owns this server.

  • Server Abilities:

    • Cluster: Whether or not the server supports clustering.

    • Nfs: Whether or not the server is capable of mounting NFS shares.

    • iSCSI: Whether or not the server is capable of mounting iSCSI LUNs.

    • Fibre Channel: Whether or not the server is capable of mounting Fibre Channel LUNs.

    • HighAvailability: Whether or not the server supports high availability for virtual machines.

    • VMSuspend: Whether or not the server supports suspending a virtual machine.

    • Per VM CPUOverSubscribe: Whether or not each virtual machine can be configured to perform CPU over-subscription.

    • All VM CPUOverSubscribe: Whether or not all virtual machines on the server can be configured to perform CPU over-subscription.

    • Bondmode Active Backup: Whether or not the server supports active backup network bonds.

    • Bondmode Link Aggregation: Whether or not the server supports link aggregation network bonds.

    • Bondmode Adaptive Load Balancing: Whether or not the server supports adaptive load balancing for a network bonds.

    • Mtu Configuration: Whether or not MTU settings for network interfaces can be configured on the server.

    • Local Storage Element: Whether or not a local disk be used for storage on a server.

    • VM Memory Alignment: The size of the data alignment block that is used for offsetting memory requirements for each virtual machine to ensure better performance.

    • Vnc Console: Whether or not the server supports VNC.

    • Serial Console: Whether or not the server supports Serial Console.

    • Migration Setup: An internal facility to perform setup requirements for virtual machine migration, typically used for SPARC deployments.

    • HVM Max Vnics: The maximum number of VNICs that can be assigned to a hardware virtualized virtual machine.

    • Server Package Update: Whether or not the server supports package updates.

    • PowerOn WOL: Whether or not the server supports Wake On LAN.

    • Repo On SharedDisk: Whether or not the server supports a repository on a shared disk, such as iSCSI or Fibre Channel.

    • Repo On LocalDisk: Whether or not the server supports a repository on a local disk.

    • ClusterFs On PhysicalDisk: Whether or not the server is capable of creating an OCFS2 file system on a physical disk, such as an iSCSI LUN or Fibre Channel LUN.

    • VmEmptyCdrom: Whether or not the server supports an empty virtual CDROM on a virtual machine. SPARC servers do not support an empty virtual CDROM.
