Virtualization Management Module
Farm
A Farm (or cluster) is
a group of Hypervisors pooled together and sharing storage
resources to provide an overall fault tolerant system for hosting
Virtual Machines.

Creating a new Farm
Click on the “Overview” menu:
And click on “Create a new Farm” in the dashboard:
To display the following form:
Relations
-
Impacts: a Farm impacts its Virtual Machines, the Application Solutions which this Farm is part of and all the contacts (Persons, Teams) directly linked to the Farm.
-
Depends on: a Farm depends on the related Hypervisors and Logical Volumes.
Hypervisor
An hypervisor is a
virtualization software (MS Hyper-V, VMWare ESX, Xen, etc.),
running on a physical Server and supporting the creation of Virtual
Machines.

Virtual Machine
A Virtual Machine is
the virtual equivalent to a Server, it is hosted either on an
Hypervisor or on a Farm.
