eSight DC nCenter

With the help of virtualization software, one physical server can be virtualized to multiple VMs that share computer resources. To ensure communication between VMs and communication between VMs and switches, the virtual switch vSwitch is introduced. On the one hand, a vSwitch is deployed on a server and managed by the system administrator; on the other hand, a vSwitch is a switch that is managed by the network administrator. The unclear boarder between network management and server management requires cooperation between the system administrator and network administrator.
Sometimes, VMs that occupy fewer resources are migrated to another server to free unnecessary servers and reduce cost. Sometimes VMs are migrated to new servers that are added to satisfy service needs. To meet the VM migration requirement, the destination network where a VM is to be migrated must be prepared in advanced. This brings new challenges to network management.
Huawei eSight DC nCenter monitors network resources (including physical servers, VMs, vSwitches, and TOR switches), displays the topology of virtual resources and physical devices, and dynamically adjusts physical network profiles based on VM changes.


eSight DC nCenter automatically discovers the virtual and network topologies and uniformly manages the data center network.

eSight DC nCenter automatically discovers physical and virtual devices and displays the device connections and status in topology views, including the subordinate and connection relationships between physical TOR switches, physical servers, vSwitches, and VMs.


eSight DC nCenter uniformly monitors data center network resources.

eSight DC nCenter monitors resources such as physical servers, VMs, port groups, and physical network adapters and manages VM performance and alarm information.


Physical server: basic information, quantity of VMs, and quantity of vSwitches.


VM: name, VLAN ID, vSwitch and server to which a VM belongs, and bound physical network profile.


Port group: port group name, VLAN ID, and virtual profiles (including profiles for security, traffic adjustment, and network adapter binding). Users can add, modify, and delete port groups.


Physical network adapter: network adapter name and status, MAC address, and vSwitch name.


eSight DC nCenter automatically delivers network profiles during the VM deployment, which reduces the work complexity for network administrators and shortens the required time.

When creating a VM using vCenter during the VM deployment, the server administrator binds the VM to a port group and notifies nCenter of the binding relationship. When the VM is brought online, nCenter automatically and quickly delivers the network profile to the TOR switch.


eSight DC nCenter synchronously migrates network profiles when migrating a VM, which prevents services from being affected by the migration.

eSight DC nCenter listens on VM changes (for example, a VM goes online, goes offline, or is migrated) through vCenter, synchronizes virtual network configurations to the physical network by changing network configurations between source and destination TOR switches, and generates VM change logs for future troubleshooting.


eSight DC nCenter is installed on the same server as eSight Unified Network Management Platform professional edition. Therefore, the configuration requirements for their running environment are the same.


There is no special requirement on the eSight network as long as the physical server where a VM is deployed can connect to the eSight server and the VM has been added to eSight DC nCenter.
