Installing VRM agent plug-ins

Virtual Resource Management (VRM) is a module on the IMC Platform to manage virtual networks. It
must work with a VRM Windows or Linux agent for virtual network management.

Installing a VRM Windows agent

When Microsoft Hyper-V servers exist in the network, install VRM Windows agents for IMC to manage

the Hyper-V servers.
A VRM Windows agent must be installed on one Windows server. When the Microsoft Hyper-V servers

are managed by Microsoft VMM servers, H3C recommends that you install VRM Windows agents on the
Microsoft VMM server. A VRM Windows agent can work for up to 50 Hyper-V servers. When more than

50 Hyper-V servers exist in the network, install more VRM Windows agents.

CAUTION:

VRM Windows agents can only be installed on Windows server 2008 R2 SP1/2012 that can access all
Hyper-V servers. A Windows server can be installed with only one VRM Windows agent.

A VRM Windows agent is dependent on .NET Framework 4.5, and PowerShell 3.0. Before you install a

VRM Windows agent, make sure all the software applications are installed. For the Windows Server

2008 R2 system, they are installed in by default; for other Windows operating systems, go to the
Microsoft official website to download and install them.

1.

The installation file vrm-plug-windows.zip of a VRM Windows agent is stored in tools folder of the
IMC installation package. Decompress the file and copy the file to any directory of the server

where the VRM Windows agent is to be installed.

2.

Run Register.bat in the vrm-plug-windows folder. When all the related software applications are
installed, the installation process is complete. Otherwise, the system prompts you to install the

required software and quit the installation process. In this case, install the required software and
restart the installation process.
Do not delete the vrm-plug-windows folder or the files in the folder after installation. It becomes the
service registration path.

3.

Use Wordpad to open the imf.cfg file in the vrm-plug-windows/serverimf/server/conf directory.
Modify IMGAddress as the IP address of the master IMC server and IMGPort as the MBP port

number (8800 by default).

4.

Save your settings and quit.

5.

Start the IMC VRM plug service.

a.

Click Start and select Administrative Tools > Component Services to open the Component
Services window.

b.

Select Services (Local) from the navigation tree, right-click IMC VRM Agent on the Services
(Local) list, and select Start to start the VRM agent service.

To uninstall a VRM agent plug-in, run the file UnRegister.bat in the vrm-plug-windows directory.
