Using VMware vSphere Web Client withSymantec ApplicationHA and SymantecCluster Server (VCS)September 2014
Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Since v5.1 of vSphere, VMware have focused on providing web based management for the vSphereenvironment, with v5.5 more functionality has been placed into the vSphere Web Client to bring itscapabilities on par to that of the Windows based vSphere Client. Moving forward VMware have statedthat any new feature VMware introduces typically is only going to be available within the vSphere WebClient. Due to the move by VMware away from the Windows based vSphere Client Symantec has alsodeveloped integration into the vSphere Web Client so that customers using Symantec High Availabilitysolutions can leverage the vSphere Web Client also. This paper describes the steps needed to enablemanagement of Symantec high availability solutions with the vSphere Web Client.ContentsSolution features and support . 3Step 1 – Installation of Veritas Operations Manager. . 4Step 2 – Configuration of the Control Host and Virtualization Add-on. . 4Step 3 – Registration of the Symantec HA plugin for vSphere Web Client. 9Step 4 – Adding Symantec ApplicationHA and VCS guest hosts to the VOM server. . 10Step 5 – Management of the Symantec HA plugin via vSphere Web Client. 11Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 2
Solution features and supportSymantec High Availability Solutions that leverage vSphere Web Client management include SymantecApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS), traditionally these solutions use a Windows systemthat runs the Symantec HA Console for management, guest deployment and application single sign-onall of which are managed via a plugin into the Windows vSphere client. To support the vSphere WebClient the Symantec architecture, Veritas Operations Manager 6.1 (VOM) is used for presenting theinformation into the Web Client including registration of the plugin for vCenter Servers within theenvironment. With this release certain functionality is omitted but will be added in subsequent releases.Operations that are enabled within the vSphere Web Client include Registration of the Symantec High Availability plugin for vSphere Web Client. Configuration/discovery of applications to be placed under Symantec ApplicationHA & VCScontrol. Management of applications including start/stop and other management tasks. Single sign-on for application authentication from VOM to the vSphere Web Client. Dashboard view and management of applications configured visible from the Cluster orDatacenter views of the vSphere Web Client.Management tasks omitted in the 6.1 release from the Symantec HA plugin for vSphere Web Clientinclude. Ability to install guest component via vSphere Web Client: You cannot use the vSphere WebClient to install the Symantec ApplicationHA or VCS guest component into the virtual machine.Use either the Windows vSphere Client to install the guest components and then migrate themto the Web Client or use the installer from the Symantec solutions DVD image to push thecomponents to multiple VMs. Symantec High Availability home page will not be available on the vSphere Web Client, and theoperations related to Symantec High Availability License Management, single sign-onconfiguration between sites (for VMware Site Recovery Manager) are not available. The keylesslicense model is recommended which can be managed through VOM. Integration with Symantec Backup Exec is not supported.Supported environments.To use the Symantec HA Console plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client the following platforms andsoftware are supported. VMware vSphere 5.1 or laterSymantec ApplicationHA 6.1 or later* Earlier versions can be used but the VOM managed host package VRTSsfmh needs to beupdatedSymantec Cluster Server (Windows) 6.0.1 or laterSymantec Cluster Server (Linux) 6.0.2 or later* Symantec Cluster Server below v6.1 for both Windows and Linux require the VOM managedhost package VRTSsfmh to be updated.Veritas Operations Manager 6.1 or later.Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 3
Steps Required to implement solution.Step 1 – Installation of Veritas Operations Manager.Veritas Operations Manager (VOM) 6.1 is required to be installed and configured for use with thevSphere environment. VOM is available to download from the Symantec website athttp://www.symantec.com/operations-manager click the download link on the page and follow thesteps required to download the code. Note that the full package will include the add-ons required bydefault, select the full package download file to minimize the steps otherwise the add-ons required willneed to be installed separately. The VOM management server can be installed on either a Windows orLinux host information on current supported platform is at equirements . Carry out the install by running the installation bin or exe filedepending on the desired platform that was downloaded from the Symantec website and follow theinstall wizard including the management configuration. There are a great set of videos athttp://www.symantec.com/connect/vom-videos which have been posted and these are great to reviewto understand the steps required. Once configured, log in to the VOM server with system administratorprivileges and the home page will be presented.Step 2 – Configuration of the Control Host and Virtualization Add-on.Once the VOM server is installed, the Control Host (CH) add-on needs to be installed next. The Controlhost facilitates the discovery of the environment and will be used to discover the vSphere environment,this is carried out via the “Settings” icon and then selecting the “Deployment” section, depending onyour environment the CH may need to be installed on separate server but for this paper it will beUsing VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 4
installed on the VOM server. Expand the “Add-on” section and right click on “Control Host” and select“Install”. After a few minutes the Control Host will be enabled and installed.Once the CH is installed next step is to enable the Symantec HA Plugin for vCenter Web Client, this isenable by selecting the “Symantec HA Plugin for vSphere Web Client” Add-on in the left hand columnand then right click on the Symantec HA Plugin and select “Install”.Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 5
The Add-on must be installed on the VOM Management Server; the VOM Web Server will need to berestarted after the Installation of the add-on. To restart the Web server, click “Restart Web Server”button on the task bar.Log back into the management server after the restart of the web services. Once logged in, theverification of the add-on installation can be made by selecting the “Repository” or the “Add-on”section in the left hand column and verify that the Control Host and Symantec HA plugin for vSphereWeb Client have both been enabled.Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 6
Next step is to enable the Virtualization management within VOM. This is carried out by going to the“Settings” section and select “Virtualization”.Click “Add Virtualization Server” from the task pane and fill in details of the vCenter Server environmentthat requires the plugin. Multiple vCenter Servers can be added if required.Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 7
Discovery of the environment is carried out and selection of ESX servers can be made.Discovery process completes and information on the environment is displayed.Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 8
Side Note: The ESX servers are not used for the registration process but information from theenvironment can be gained and can be useful. Information such as memory/CPU/network and storage isdiscovered by the Control Host. Specific information on the environment that has been discovered alsoincludes Storage and Datastores associated to the environment. Information on the environment isviewed from VOM within the virtualization perspective; access to this type of information can be given tousers where access via the vSphere Client is restricted.Step 3 – Registration of the Symantec HA plugin for vSphere Web Client.Register the plugin against the discovered vCenter servers by carrying out a register task within theVirtualization perspective from the home view. Select the “Solutions” panel at the left hand side andclick on “Symantec HA plugin for vSphere Web Client”. Right click on the vCenter Servers that requirethe plugin to be registered and select “Register”.Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 9
Step 4 – Adding Symantec ApplicationHA and VCS guest hosts to the VOMserver.With the plugin registered the next step is to add the virtual machines with ApplicationHA and VCSinstalled to the VOM server. Do this by selecting “Settings” from the home page and select “Add Hosts”on the task pane, select “Agent” as the type and fill in the required information. Note if you havemultiple VMs to be added then a CSV file can be uploaded to the wizard to fill in the requiredinformation. The format of the CSV follows.Host, User, Passwordhost1,user1,password1host2, user2,password2host3, user3,password3Once the VMs have been added and discovery completes the information of the VMs is displayed. Makesure that the VMs Agent is in a connected state.Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 10
Step 5 – Management of the Symantec HA plugin via vSphere Web Client.Next and final step is to check connectivity via the vSphere Web Client. The VOM Management ServersSSL security certificate must be added to the workstations Trusted Root Cert Authorities repositorywithin the internet options so that a secure communication can be made from the Web Client to VOM.The Symantec HA plugin should be displayed under the “Monitor” tab within the vSphere Web Client asdisplayed below. From this point onwards the configuration or management of the application can becarried out.Using VMware vSphere Web Client with Symantec ApplicationHA and Symantec Cluster Server (VCS)Page 11
