Point
Association of an L-Server Name with a VM Guest Name
When installing an operating system manually on the L-Server or using the management console of server virtualization software, select
the L-Server in the orchestration tree, and operate the VM for the
Guest_name
displayed in [Resource Details].
The following name is automatically allocated for
Guest_name
:
L-Server_name
-
Number
Number
is automatically set by Resource Orchestrator to avoid overlapping of names on server virtualization software if an L-Server with
the same name is created during "
Chapter 21 Resource Folder Operations
".
For operation without
numbering
, refer to "Numbering VM names" in "
Table 17.4 List of Items Specified in the Definition File
". However, L-Servers with the same name cannot be created. Avoid using the same L-Server name more than once.
Note
-
When creating an L-Server, log off ETERNUSmgr of ETERNUS storage registered on ESC.
-
When operating NetApp storage in cluster environments and operating a partial system due to system trouble, recover the NetApp
storage and return the system to cluster operation before re-commencing operations.
-
When the status of the VM host and virtual storage is one other than "normal", the resource will be excluded from L-Server allocation
regardless of its available space.
-
When operating a VM host in a cluster system, create an L-Server with the storage resources shared between VM hosts specified.
L-Server cannot be created using storage resources that are not shared between VM hosts.
-
Depending on the [None (Definition only)] checkbox, the power status of an L-Server after its creation is as follows.
Table 16.2 L-Server Power Status after Creation
When Checked
When not Checked
Physical L-Server
Power OFF
Power ON
Virtual L-Server
Power OFF
Power OFF
For details on how to start an L-Server, refer to "
".
-
When creating a virtual L-Server, the values in the VM specific information definition file are used even if those values have not been
set in the L-Server template.
If there are discrepancies between the L-Server template and VM specific information definition file (e.g. CPU performance is lower
than CPU Reserve), L-Server creation will fail.
For details on VM specific information definition files, refer to "C.1 Definition Files Commonly Shared when Creating Virtual L-
Servers" and "Chapter 8 Creating Definition Files" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[Hyper-V]
-
When using dynamic memory or memory weight, the VM host must be either of the following.
-
Microsoft(R) Windows Server(R) 2008 R2 SP1 or later
-
Microsoft(R) Windows Server(R) 2012
SCVMM should be one of the following, either of which can manage the VM hosts.
-
System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 SP1 or later
-
System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager
When creating an L-Server for which dynamic memory is enabled or memory weight is specified, creation of the L-Server will fail
unless there are a VM host and SCVMM satisfying the conditions above.
