Pre-requisites for Monitoring the Oracle VM Server and its VMs

General Pre-requisites

  • Enable the remote agent to communicate with the eG manager port (default: 7077).

  • If VMs running on multi-byte operating systems are to be monitored (eg., Windows Japanese), then the remote agent monitoring such VMs should also run on a multi-byte operating system.

Pre-requisites for Auto-Discovering the VMs on an Oracle VM Server

To enable the eG agent to auto-discover the IP address and operating system of the VMs on the Oracle VM server, make sure that the Windows PV driver is installed on each VM.

Pre-requisites for Collecting the ‘Outside View’ Metrics

To obtain the outside view of VM performance, the following pre-requisites should be fulfilled:

  • Ensure that the remote agent has IP connectivity to the Oracle VM Manager.

  • Ensure that the remote agent has web access to the webport (default port: 7002) configured for the Oracle VM Manager.

  • All the tests that the remote agent executes should be configured with the IP address of Oracle VM Manager and the name and password of a user with Admin rights to the Oracle VM Manager.

Pre-requisites for Obtaining the "Inside View" of VMs

  • Install a light-weight software called eG VM Agent on each VM. To know more about the eG VM agent and how to install it, refer to Configuring the Remote Agent to Obtain the Inside View of VMs

  • Enable the remote agent to communicate with the port at which the eG VM Agent listens (default port: 60001).

  • Set the inside view using flag for all the “inside view” tests to eG VM Agent.
