This section explains how to configure a virtual L-Server with server, storage, and network specifications configured, without using an L-Server template.
Specify the values on the following tabs:
[General] Tab
[Server] Tab
[Disk] Tab
[Network] Tab
[OS] Tab
Use the following procedure to create L-Servers:
Right-click the target resource folder in the orchestration tree, and select [Create]-[L-Server] from the popup menu.
The [Create an L-Server] dialog is displayed.
Set the items required in each tab, and click <OK> to create the L-Server.
Note
Each item to set has an upper limit.
Even when valid values are specified, the creation of an L-Server may fail depending on the availability of resources in resource pools, the hardware configuration, and the VM management software specifications.
When creating a virtual L-Server, if there are any values configured in the VM specific information definition file, those values are used.
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".
[Xen]
When using RHEL5-Xen, L-Server creation cannot be performed using the ROR console. Use the rcxadm lserver command.
For details on the rcxadm lserver command, refer to "3.6 rcxadm lserver" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
[Hyper-V]
When using dynamic memory and memory weight, Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1(SP1) or later must be applied to the VM host, and SCVMM must be upgraded to System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 Service Pack 1(SP1) or later. If there are no VM hosts or SCVMM with SP1 applied, creation of an L-Server for which dynamic memory is enabled, or memory weight is specified will fail.
