An operating system from another vendor (Windows, Linux or Unix systems) usually runs on an Application Unit. The scope of the setting and display options thus depends on the operating system concerned. An Application Unit can be operated with a Native operating system or a hypervisor system. A hypervisor system permits the operation of VMs. These are displayed in the SE Manager and can be operated with it.
The following hypervisor systems can be configured: VMware vSphere ESXi or HyperV Windows Server.
Application Units are displayed in the tree structure as <unit> (AU...) or <unit> (DBU...).
For deployment scenarios with many Application Units, the standard view of the systems in the SE Manager can become confusing. For such cases, the AU optimized view, which can be selected in the user's individual settings, is suitable. In the navigation, the AU optimized view displays only one System AU menu in the Systems main menu for all AUs of an SE server, which provides access to the Operation main page of the AUs.
If the add-on pack NUX is installed on at least one MU, the structure of the primary navigation underneath Hardware -> Units is extended: The main menu receives rack-specific substructures SE<se-index> AU<rack-index>xx corresponding to the name scheme of the AUs, under which the links to the individual AUs of the rack (with a corresponding submenu if necessary) can be found.
For such an AU, only the basic system resp. Native-AU system is displayed.
