Terms in this definition
- OSAM
OS Assisted Migration: the VCF Operations HCX service that brings Linux and Windows guests over to vSphere from non-vSphere hypervisors like KVM and Hyper-V. Each guest gets the Sentinel agent and each site gets Sentinel appliances; at switchover the copy is adjusted and restarted, so the move is not outage-free.
- Guest data
Telemetry captured within a virtual machine's operating system: Windows events, Syslog, perf counters, IIS logs and text logs. Azure Monitor Agent has to be installed, with a data collection rule, before any of it is gathered.
- SGW
Sentinel Gateway. With multi-site OS Assisted Migration, HCX places this appliance at the source; guests running Sentinel connect to it, and it relays what they send on to the Sentinel Data Receiver.
