This chapter explains how to create L-Servers.
For an overview of the functions, refer to "2.2.3 L-Server" in the "Design Guide CE".
L-Servers can be created using the following two methods:
Creation Using an L-Server Template
Resources are automatically selected from a resource pool.
Creation Without Using an L-Server Template
Specify a resource or a resource pool.
For details on how to specify and select the VM host to which the created L-Server is to be deployed, refer to "2.2.3 L-Server" in the "Design Guide CE".
Creation Using an L-Server Template
Use the following procedure to create an L-Server using an L-Server template:
When cloning images are not stored in image pools, or when not using cloning images which have been already registered
Select an L-Server template. Specify [None] for images.
For details, refer to "16.1 Creation Using an L-Server Template".
Install an OS manually.
As an L-Server with no OS installed is created, install an OS manually.
For details, refer to "Chapter 15 Collecting and Registering Cloning Images" in the "Setup Guide CE".
When cloning images are stored in image pools
Select an L-Server template. Specify a cloning image to deploy.
An L-Server on which a cloning image has been deployed is created.
For details, refer to "16.1 Creation Using an L-Server Template".
Creation Without Using an L-Server Template
For details on how to create specifying individual specifications without using an L-Server template, refer to "16.2 Creation of Physical L-Servers Using Parameters" or "16.3 Creation of Virtual L-Servers Using Parameters".
Note
[Linux]
When using Linux for a physical L-Server, and iSCSI storage for a system disk, an L-Server cannot be created using a cloning image.
[Xen]
When using RHEL5-Xen, L-Server creation and operation using the ROR console cannot be performed. For details, refer to "C.4 RHEL5-Xen" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[Solaris Containers]
When using Solaris containers, L-Servers cannot be created.
Link L-Servers with configured physical virtual machines after creating the non-global zone in Solaris containers.
For details, refer to "Chapter 18 Linking L-Servers with Configured Physical Servers or Virtual Machines".
Information
[Physical Servers]
For details on physical L-Servers, refer to "B.5 Creating an L-Server" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[VMware]
For details on VMware, refer to "C.2 VMware" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[Hyper-V]
For details on Hyper-V, refer to "C.3 Hyper-V" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[KVM]
For details on RHEL-KVM, refer to "C.4 RHEL5-Xen" in the "Setup Guide CE".
[Oracle VM]
For details on Oracle VM, refer to "C.5 Oracle VM" in the "Setup Guide CE".
Linking L-Servers with Configured Physical Servers or Virtual Machines
Configured physical servers and virtual machines can be managed by linking them with L-Servers.
The management scope and the scope of use as an L-Server vary depending on the resources used by the configured physical server or virtual machine.
For details, refer to "Chapter 18 Linking L-Servers with Configured Physical Servers or Virtual Machines".
