Enterprise Virtualization for Desktops
ENTERPRISE VIRTUALIZATION MANAGER
The Enterprise Virtualization Manager is the front-end for the Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor and
contains all of the control functions required for the virtual desktop solution. It isin effect, the management
system for the entire Enterprise Virtualization for Desktops solution. It manages the provisioning process,
connection protocol, user sessions log-on/log-off, virtual desktop pools, virtual desktop images, and the high
availability/clustering system.
ITadministratorscansearchforusers,desktops,servers,andspeciceventsfromasimpleinterface,and
can then manage or act upon any selected component. The search mechanism also supports complex
queries and cross correlation of data for quick troubleshooting. Some examples of management queries are:
Vms:user.username=*John*ANDtemplate.name=*xp*ANDApps=*ofce* •
This will show you all desktops that belong to the user “John” that have been derived from a Windows XP
template,andthathaveMicrosoftOfce
®
installed. Out of the thousands of desktops that IT may have
in the system, the administrator can quickly locate this desktop and provide assistance to the user if
required.
Vms: CPU_Usage > 90 AND Hosts.Name = vs-a •
This returns all desktops that are on vs-a that have a CPU usage of >90 percent. This enablesIT to live-
migrate the desktop away from that server, and troubleshoot it if required. IT can also log into the console
ofthatmachine,andxanyissuesthatmayexist.
ENTERPRISE VIRTUALIZATION MANAGER FOR DESKTOPS
Red Hat is designing the management system
from the ground up for virtual desktops. Users
will be able to manage every single component
or object in the system from one management
interface that is easy to use and scalable to
thousands of desktops. As opposed to traditional
server virtualization management systems that
are hierarchical and tree-based, the Red Hat
management system will be entirely search-based.
