4. Viewing VMware Devices

Zenoss represents these VMware entities as devices:

  • Hosts (ESX servers)

  • Resource Pools

  • Data stores

  • Clusters

Each of these categories is represented as a device class under the newly created organizer. For example, if the ID of an infrastructure is esxwin, then four device classes appear below /Devices/VMware/esxwin: Clusters, Datastores, Hosts, and ResourcePools.

Figure 47.7. VMware Device Classes

VMware Device Classes

If the SDK endpoint is an individual ESX server, then the Clusters organizer will be empty. (A VMware cluster is a concept external to an individual host.)
