A typical UCP Advisor environment is shown below:
The management node is the server on which the UCP Advisor components and UCP Advisor VMs are installed. The UCP Advisor software is deployed on clustered server nodes. The management node has redundant connections to ensure connectivity to UCP Advisor systems. For every UCP Advisor system, a single Master Node VM is deployed and can manage one or many UCP converged infrastructure (CI) or UCP hyperconverged (HC) systems, as long as a UCP Advisor Gateway VM is deployed per system.
Each UCP system can include Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches, storage systems, servers, and compute nodes that are connected to the Master Node VM via individual UCP Advisor Gateway VMs.
