Learn about the virtualization requirements for System x compute nodes.
vSphere 5 from VMware is the latest supported hypervisor on the X-Architecture compute node. VMWare provides many advanced virtualization capabilities. When integrated with the Flex System Manager, the Flex System Manager is used to manage the physical vSphere host. All virtual server or virtual object-related management is handled by the vCenter server.
By using the Flex System Manager in this capacity, you can gather inventory on the vSphere hosts and on the virtual servers that are then presented to the vCenter server. This inventory helps you to maintain a central repository of information that is related to your VMware environment.
