System and method for detection and deployment of virtualization capable assets in a managed datacenter

摘要

A datacenter management server includes a datacenter operations manager and a datacenter infrastructure manager with an infrastructure viewer and an asset deployment tool. The datacenter operations manager compiles datacenter hierarchy information for a datacenter, including identity information for a virtualized environment and identity information for a virtualization capable system. The virtualization capable system is deployed as a stand-alone system of the datacenter. The datacenter infrastructure manager receives the datacenter hierarchy information, directs the infrastructure viewer to display a hierarchical overview of the datacenter, including depictions of the virtualized environment and the virtualization capable system. The hierarchical overview is based on the identity information. The datacenter infrastructure manager also receives a selection of the depictions from a user and directs the asset deployment tool to deploy the virtualization capable system to the virtualized environment.

1. A datacenter management server, comprising:
a memory device including processor-executable code; and a processor operable to execute code to implement:
a datacenter operations manager that compiles datacenter hierarchy information for a datacenter, the datacenter hierarchy information including:
first identity information for a first virtualized environment of the datacenter;first resource information for a first resource of the first virtualized environment;second identity information for a second virtualized environment of the data center;second resource information for a second resource of the second virtualized environment; andthird identity information for a virtualization capable system of the datacenter, wherein the virtualization capable system is deployed as a stand-alone system of the datacenter, wherein the first, second, and third identity information, and the first and second resource information is arranged according to a hierarchy of elements of the data center; anda datacenter infrastructure manager including an infrastructure viewer and an asset deployment tool, wherein the datacenter infrastructure manager:
receives the datacenter hierarchy information from the datacenter operations manager;directs the infrastructure viewer to display a hierarchical overview of the datacenter, wherein the hierarchical overview includes a first depiction of the first virtualized environment including the first resource, a second depiction of the second virtualized environment including the second resource, and a third depiction of the virtualization capable system, and the hierarchical overview is based on the first, second, and third identity information;receives a first selection of one of the first and second depictions;receives a second selection of the third depiction;receives a third selection of one of the first and second resources; andin response to receiving the first, second, and third selections, directs the asset deployment tool to deploy the virtualization capable system to the selected virtualized environment and to deploy the selected resource to the selected virtualized environment.
