Virtualization Management Module
Farm
A Farm (or cluster) is a group of
Hypervisors pooled together and sharing storage resources to
provide an overall fault tolerant system for hosting Virtual
Machines.

Creating a new Farm
Type the Class name in the Quick create
area to create a new object, then fill the form and press the
Create button.
Relations
-
Impacts: a Farm impacts its Virtual Machines, the Application Solutions which this Farm is part of and all the contacts (Persons, Teams) directly linked to the Farm.
-
Depends on: a Farm depends on the related Hypervisors and Logical Volumes.
Hypervisor
An hypervisor is a virtualization
software (MS Hyper-V, VMWare ESX, Xen, etc.), running on a physical
Server and supporting the creation of Virtual Machines.

Impacts: an Hypervisor impacts the Farms that use it, the Virtual machines running on the Hypervisor, the Application Solutions which this Hypervisor is part of and all the contacts (Persons, Teams) directly linked to the Hypervisor.
-
Depends on: an Hypervisor depends on the related Logical Volumes and the Server which hosts this Hypervisor.
Logical Interface
A network interface for a Virtual
Machine.

Virtual Machine
A Virtual Machine is the virtual
equivalent to a Server, it is hosted either on an Hypervisor or on
a Farm.
