Adding a Virtual Application

The management server lets you monitor applications not listed in the support matrix. For example, assume your company has created an internal application, and you want to be able to use the management server to monitor that application. You can create a virtual application for that product. A virtual application is a placeholder you create for an application.

NOTE: Only a user belonging to a role that has System Configuration selected on the Edit Role page (such as the Domain Administrator role) is allowed to create a virtual application.

Once you create the virtual application, it will appear connected to a host in your topology.

1.Select a host in System Manager.

2.Right-click and select Add Virtual Application.

3.Type the following information for the virtual application.

Name

Product

Description

Vendor

Version

4.Select the storage volume for the application.

NOTE: You can view the properties of a volume by clicking its link.

5.Click OK.

The virtual application appears connected to the selected host.
