We are starting to make the move to virtualization (we are using XenSource but the specifics do not matter for my question) and I am wondering how others are handling this in Zenoss? Is there any way to note what physical server a virtual server is running on? With the fluid nature of VM's does this even make sense? Maybe it is up to me to know that if servers X, Y and Z are offline, there is most likely a problem on physical server N.
How about just noting that a server is virtual? For those machines, the HW Make and Models are no longer important. Maybe I could do something there. Does the physical server become a location? Anyway, as you can tell I am still thinking about all of this. What are your thoughts? How are you doing it? Is there even a need to put this info in Zenoss? Thanks; James PS Although I love XenSource and Zenoss...one of them will have to change their name. I am forever typing Xenoss or ZenSource... ;-) James Alspach Systems Analyst II Shasta County Office of Education 1644 Magnolia avenue Redding, California 96003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (530) 225-0293 IT Hotline: 225-0279 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
