ESX Agency
Scope
When you create an
ESX agency, you must define the scope of the agency. You define the scope of an
ESX agent in terms of compute resources, namely standalone hosts or clusters.
For example, ESX agents can run
on standalone
hosts or
on clusters of
hosts.
A solution must obtain from
the set of compute resource instances on which to deploy ESX agents. For
example, you can implement a query in your solution that obtains a list of all
the hosts that are running in a
instance. Users can then select the hosts on which to deploy ESX agents.
You set the initial ESX agency
scope in the ESX agency configuration. As the solution runs, the scope of the
ESX agency can change. For example, the EAM Sample Solution runs on compute
resources that users select from the EAM Sample Solution Configuration page. As
users select different compute resources on which to run the solution, the
scope of the ESX agency changes as it adds the MoRefs of the selected compute
resources to the scope.
