16.3.3 [Disk] Tab

Disk

Click <Add>, and specify the following items for each disk.

Size * Number of Disks
  • Size

    Enter a number with up to one decimal place, in units of gigabytes. Values of 0.1 or larger can be specified.

    [VMware] [Hyper-V]
    Specify a number between 0.1 and 2048.

    [Oracle VM]
    Specify the size within the range of 1 to the_resource_size_of_the_hardware_on_which_the_VM_hosts_operate.

    Information

    When creating an L-Server, even if the size of the system disk is specified, if the specified size differs from that of the deployed cloning image, the size will be changed to that of the deployed cloning image.

  • Number

    Clicking <Add> will display the [Disk Definitions] dialog, and then specify the number of disks to add. Specify a number 1 or larger.

Resource type

[Windows] [Linux] [Solaris] [VMware] [Hyper-V] [Xen] [Oracle VM]

Specify the disk to allocate to the L-Server.

Select from the following items.

  • Automatic assignment

    Select a suitable virtual storage resource from those registered in the appropriate storage pool. Create the specified size of disk resources, and allocate them to the L-Server. Set [Automatic] for the default value.

    Note

    When there are storage pools with and without Thin Provisioning attributes configured that have the same priority, the storage pool that will be given priority is decided based on definition files.

    For details on definition files, refer to "C.1 Definition Files Commonly Shared when Creating Virtual L-Servers" in the "Setup Guide CE".

  • Storage pool

    Select a virtual storage resource registered in the specified storage pool. Create the specified size of disk resources, and allocate them to the L-Server.

  • Virtual storage

    Displays virtual storage resources such as datastores as a list.

    Select from the displayed virtual storage resources.

    Create the specified size of disk resources from the specified virtual storage resource, and allocate them to the L-Server.

    When using the virtual storage resource on which the Thin Provisioning attributes are configured, the disk resource can be created specifying a size exceeding the actual disk space.

[Hyper-V]
When creating an L-Server or changing the configuration, a maximum of four disks can be specified at one time.

To perform addition of five or more disks, please perform an additional configuration change.

Saved disk resources that are created from virtual storage can only be connected to the L-Server when using Microsoft(R) System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager.

Disk resources can be specified if the disk number [No.] is 1 or larger.

After selecting <Disk> from the resource type to use, resources that are displayed in the "Resource List" can be filtered by entering the search conditions and clicking <Search>.

Note

When the creation of an L-Server with saved disks specified fails, if a virtual machine remains on VM management software, remove the saved disks from the virtual machine before deleting the virtual machine from VM management software. When a virtual machine is deleted without taking removing saved disks, the saved disks are also deleted. Disks on virtual machines can be identified using the disk number (No.) specified when creating an L-Server.

For details, refer to "3.1 Operations for Creating or Starting L-Servers" in "Troubleshooting".

[KVM]
Select disk storage from the resource pool to create the disk resource. Select one of Automatic, Storage pool, or Disk.

[Oracle VM]
The total size of resources is not displayed for the virtual storage in the resource list.
