The methods for operating physical servers after usage changes are as follow.
Perform the procedure given in "17.9.1 Configuring L-Servers for Usage Change" 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.
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
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.
Point
Usage cannot be changed, while the L-Server is stopped temporarily during L-Server restart.
When power operation has been performed directly on the physical server using the ROR console or commands, without performing power operation of the L-Server, the L-Server which was last operated will start.
If the last L-Server that was operated has already been started on another physical server, its status will change so there is no boot disk and it will fail to start.
