This section explains how to change L-Server settings for usage change.
The operations differ depending on whether the configuration definition has already been created (defined), or if resources have already been allocated (allocated).
When the status of an L-Server for which a configuration definition has already been created (defined)
Refer to "17.9.1.1 When only the Configuration Definition (defined) is Created".
When the status of an L-Server is that resources have already been allocated (allocated)
Refer to "17.9.1.2 When Resources are Already Allocated (allocated)".
This section explains configuration and operation when only the configuration definitions have been created (defined) for the L-Server.
Settings
Repeat the following procedure the same number of times as the number of physical servers which are used for usage change.
Create and Register Each Resource
Create and register each resource.
Perform resource creation and registration, referring to "Chapter 5 Registering Resources" and "Chapter 14 Registering Resources in Resource Pools".
Create an L-Server
Create an L-Server for which only the configuration definition (defined) is created, referring to "Chapter 16 Creating L-Servers".
Perform the following configuration:
Set [Deploy] for image deployment from the select a cloning image section of the [General] tab.
Check the [None (Definition only)] checkbox on the [General] tab.
Check the [Automatic (when powered off)] checkbox of [Resource release] on the [Server] tab.
Operation
The operation method is shown below.
When using multiple L-Servers, switching between them, on a single physical server
Usage can be changed by repeating the following procedure.
Check the Physical Server and L-Server of the Source L-Server for Usage Change
Stop the Source L-Server for Usage Change
Stop L-Servers operating on physical servers which are required for change usage.
For details, refer to "17.1.2 Stopping an L-Server".
Start the Destination L-Server for Usage Change
For details, refer to "17.1.1 Starting an L-Server".
After changing the configuration, the L-Server before changing cannot be operated, until the new L-Server has finished starting.
When using multiple L-Servers, switching between them, on unused physical servers in a server pool
Usage can be changed by repeating the following procedure.
Confirm the Server Pool
Confirm whether an unused physical server exists in the server pool.
Start the Destination L-Server for Usage Change
For details, refer to "17.1.1 Starting an L-Server".
After changing the configuration, the L-Server before changing cannot be operated, until the new L-Server has finished starting.
This section explains configuration and operation when resources have been allocated to the L-Server.
Settings
Perform 1. the same number of times as the number of physical servers which are used for usage change.
Create and Register Each Resource
Perform resource creation and registration, referring to "Chapter 5 Registering Resources" and "Chapter 14 Registering Resources in Resource Pools".
Create an L-Server (First server)
Create an L-Server for which resources are already allocated (allocated), referring to "Chapter 16 Creating L-Servers".
Perform the following configuration:
Set [Deploy] for image deployment from the select a cloning image section of the [General] tab.
Do not check the [None (Definition only)] checkbox from the [General] tab.
Check the [Automatic (when powered off)] checkbox of [Resource release] on the [Server] tab.
Change L-Server Configuration
When using multiple L-Servers, switching between them, on a single physical server
Repeat the following procedure the same number of times as the number of physical servers which are used for usage change.
Create and Register Each Resource
Perform resource creation and registration, referring to "Chapter 5 Registering Resources" and "Chapter 14 Registering Resources in Resource Pools".
Release the resources of the source L-Server for usage change
Resources are released while the resource details of the source L-Server for usage change are preserved.
For details, refer to "17.8.2.2 Releasing Resources".
Create an L-Server
Create an L-Server for which resources are already allocated (allocated), referring to "Chapter 16 Creating L-Servers".
Perform the following configuration:
Set [Deploy] for image deployment from the select a cloning image section of the [General] tab.
Do not check the [None (Definition only)] checkbox from the [General] tab.
Check the [Automatic (when powered off)] checkbox of [Resource release] on the [Server] tab.
When using multiple L-Servers, switching between them, on unused physical servers in a server pool
Repeat the following procedure the same number of times as the number of physical servers which are used for usage change.
Create and Register Each Resource
Perform resource creation and registration, referring to "Chapter 5 Registering Resources" and "Chapter 14 Registering Resources in Resource Pools".
Confirm the Server Pool
Confirm whether an unused physical server exists in the server pool.
When an L-Server is allocated to all physical servers in the specified server pool, release a physical server from an L-Server.
Release the resources of the source L-Server for usage change
Resources are released while the resource details of the source L-Server for usage change are preserved.
For details, refer to "17.8.2.2 Releasing Resources".
Create an L-Server
Create an L-Server for which resources are already allocated (allocated), referring to "Chapter 16 Creating L-Servers".
Perform the following configuration:

Do not check the [None (Definition only)] checkbox from the [General] tab.
Check the [Automatic (when powered off)] checkbox of [Resource release] on the [Server] tab.
Operation
The methods for operating physical servers after usage changes are as follow.
Perform the procedure before performing any operations.
When using multiple L-Servers, switching between them, on a single physical server
Usage can be changed by repeating the following procedure.
Confirm the Physical Servers to Use
Stop the Source L-Server for Usage Change
Stop L-Servers operating on physical servers which are required for change usage.
For details, refer to "17.1.2 Stopping an L-Server".
Start the Destination L-Server for Usage Change
For details, refer to "17.1.1 Starting an L-Server".
After changing the configuration, the L-Server before changing cannot be operated, until the new L-Server has finished starting.
