NAME
nsr_hypervisor - NetWorker resource type "NSR hypervisor"
SYNOPSIS
type: NSR hypervisor
DESCRIPTION
A resource of type NSR hypervisor is used to manage parameters for com-
municating with the virtual machine monitor of a virtualization plat-
form such as VirtualCenter from VMware. A NetWorker hypervisor also
stores information queried from the monitor such as the names of vir-
tual machines found and details about the virtualization environment.
See nsr_resource(5) for more information on NetWorker resources. To
edit the NSR hypervisor resources type:
nsradmin -c "type:NSR hypervisor"
or use NetWorker Management Console. See nsradmin(8) for more informa-
tion on using the NetWorker administration program.
ATTRIBUTES
The following attributes are defined for resource type NSR hypervisor.
The information in parentheses describes how the attribute values are
accessed. Create-only indicates that the value cannot be changed by an
administrator, except when the resource is created. Read/write means
the value can be changed at any time by authorized administrators.
Choice list means that any number of values can be chosen from the
given list. Single string means that only a single value is allowed.
Static attributes change values rarely, if ever. Hidden means it is an
attribute of interest only to programs or experts, and these attributes
can only be seen when the hidden option is turned on in nsradmin(8).
For example, an attribute marked (create-only, static) has a value set
when the attribute is created and never changes. Several additional
attributes (for example, administrator) are common to all resources,
and are described in nsr_resource(5).
name (create-only, static)
This attribute holds the name of the hypervisor resource and
should be the name of the machine hosting the Hypervisor Manage-
ment software (for instance, VMware VirtualCenter).
comment (read/write)
This attribute is provided for the administrator to keep any
explanatory remarks or supplementary information about the
resource.
service (read/write, choice list)
This attribute specifies the type of hypervisor monitor to be
accessed. Its value is used to generate the default endpoint.
endpoint (read/write)
This attribute contains the URL endpoint used to communicate
with the hypervisor web service interface. An empty value means
use the default endpoint determined from the selection in the
service attribute.
username (read/write)
This attribute contains the user name to log into the virtual
machine monitor with.
password (read/write)
This attribute contains the password to log into the virtual
machine monitor with.
command (read/write)
This attribute specifies the discovery command to execute. An
empty value means use the default command based on the selection
in the service attribute.
proxy (read/write)
This attribute contains the name of the machine to execute the
discovery command on. If empty, the host machine specified by
the name attribute is used.
vm list (read only, hidden)
This attribute contains names of the virtual machines found dur-
ing the last execution of the discovery command.
environment (read only, hidden)
This attribute contains information about the environment of the
virtual machine monitor found during the last execution of the
discovery command. The format of this value is dependent upon
the type of hypervisor monitor being accessed.
EXAMPLE
A complete example of resource creation follows:
type: NSR hypervisor;
name: maelstrom.corp.emc.com;
username: myusername;
password: mypassword;
