The methods for operating physical servers after usage changes are as follow.
Perform the procedure given in "5.7.2 Configuring L-Servers for Usage Change" before performing operation.
For method 1.
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 "Stopping an L-Server" in "5.2 Power Operations".
Start the destination L-Server for usage change
Start the destination L-Server for usage change.
For details, refer to "Starting an L-Server" in "5.2 Power Operations".
After changing the configuration, the L-Server before changing cannot be operated, until the new L-Server has finished starting.
Usage can be changed by repeating steps 1. and 2.
For method 2.
Confirm a 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 "Starting an L-Server" in "5.2 Power Operations".
After changing the configuration, the L-Server before changing cannot be operated, until the new L-Server has finished starting.
Usage can be changed by repeating steps 1. and 2.
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 RC 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.
