2.3 Registering VM Hosts
After being installed on a computing node, having its credentials defined, and associating itself with
the computing node, the Orchestrate Agent begins broadcasting the availability of its host as a
potential computing resource. A host is defined as a machine running a
supported hypervisor agent.
However, before the Orchestrate Server can allow an agent to authenticate and establish ongoing
communication, you need to create a resource account for the agent on the Orchestrate Server. When
this account is created or “registered,” the agent’s host node can be discovered and recognized as a
computing resource that can perform the
jobs assigned to it. In the Orchestrate Development Client,
you can choose to automatically or manually register a VM host server to the Orchestrate Server by
configuring the
Auto Register Agents option (the Resources panel in the Authentication tab of the
datagrid). If you choose to manually register to the Orchestrate Server, the unregistered VM host
servers are displayed in the VM Client. These hosts might or might not have a supported hypervisor
installed and running on them.
To register the VM host servers:
1 In the VM Client , click Host Servers in the Inventory panel:
Discovered (#) is displayed below Host Servers , where # represents the number of host servers
that are waiting to be registered with the Orchestrate Server.
2 Click Discovered (#) to display the unregistered host servers in the details section on the right.
You can accept (see Step 3 ) or reject (see Step 4 ) any of the listed host servers. The host servers
that you accept become part of your virtualization grid.
3 Accept an unregistered host server in one of the following ways:
Š
Select the server in the details view, then click the button.
Š
Right-click the server in the details view, then select Accept .
Š
Select the server in the details view, then click Actions > Accept .
