4.1 Understanding VM Host Servers
VM host servers are generally separate machines from the Orchestrate Server, because the
Orchestrate Server is highly utilized by the Orchestrate functions. Host servers’ main function is to
manage and run virtual machines, which can also create high utilization.
VM host servers provide the capability to run virtual machines in their RAM. They are also used to
store and manage VM files and templates in their local or shared repositories.
Machines must have the following installed on them to qualify as VM host servers:
Š
The Xen kernel, Hyper-V, or VMware VCenter, which provides the hypervisor capability
Š The Orchestrate Agent, which provides access to the Orchestrate Server in order to work with
VMs in the virtualization grid
For more information on setting up VM host servers, see Section 2.3, “Registering VM Hosts,” on
page 20 .
