Refreshing virtual machine host data

[EcoStruxureIT]

For integrations between ITA and VMware vCenter Server(on-premise only), the host data refreshes dynamically.

However, for integrations between ITA and Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager, the data is refreshed at the configured frequency.

The ITA: PRO Pack Agent ensures the data from the Virtual Machine Manager server is updated at the configured frequency, e.g. every 10 minutes (minimum).

The agent is installed with the ITA: PRO Pack. You will see an icon on the task bar when the agent is running.

1. Open the agent window by right-clicking the icon on the task bar and selecting Show (or if the agent is disabled, restart it through Start> All Programs> Startup> ITA PRO Pack).
2. Define the interval of getting updated data from Virtual Machine Manager into ITA .

Updates include:

• Virtual machine hosts: Addition/removal, switch between maintenance/normal mode
• Virtual machines: Addition/move/deletion
