If omitted, "FC" is set.

Disk index

(DiskIndex)

Number of the disk to allocate to the L-Server
(Optional, but required when specifying disk size)

Integer starting from 0
0: Boot disk
Other than 0: Data disk
Specify 0 if "iSCSI" was specified for the disk connection type.
For details of the specifiable range, refer to "2.3.1 For Physical L-Servers".

Disk size

NICs

(NICs)

A collection of NIC definitions

Specify one or more NIC tags.

NetworkLinks

(NetworkLinks)

A collection of a number of network definitions (optional)

Specify the NumOfNetworkLinks tag only once.

If the NetworkLinks tag is omitted, a single network is set for a NIC and a NIC redundancy group.

Number of networks available for one NIC/NICGroup

(NumOfNetworkLinks)

Number of networks available for one NIC/NICGroup

An integer equal to or greater than 1

NICGroups

(NICGroups)

A collection of NIC redundancy group definitions (optional)

Specify when NIC redundancy is necessary.

Specify one or more NICGroup tags.

NIC redundancy group

(NICGroup)

NIC redundancy group
(Optional, but required when specifying the NICGroups tag)

Specify a NIC redundancy group.

Specify a NIC contained in the NIC group using the NICLink tag.

NIC redundancy group index

(NICGroupIndex)

NIC redundancy group index
(Optional, but required when specifying the NICGroup tag)

Specify a NIC redundancy group index.

Specify for each NICGroup.

Specify sequential numbers starting from 0.

NICLinks

(NICLinks)

Specify the NICLink tags twice.

NIC numbers contained in the NIC redundancy group

(NICLink)

NIC number contained in the NIC redundancy group
(Optional, but required when specifying the NICGroup tag)

Specify a NIC number contained in the NIC redundancy group.

When there are multiple NICs, specify NICLink for each NIC number.

Specify a set of redundancies.

(NICIndex)

Number to identify the NIC definition to allocate to the L-Server
(Optional, but required when specifying the NIC tag)

Integer starting from 0

Specify a number between 0 and 9.

NIC number (NICIndex) + 1 corresponds to a network (NIC) number of the [General] tab in the [Create an L-Server] dialog.

Number of NICs

(NumOfNIC)

Number of NICs for L-Server (optional)

An integer equal to or greater than 0

If 0 is specified, a NIC definition will not be created.

(NumOfNetworkLinks)

Number of Networks available for NIC/NICGroups
(optional)

An integer equal to or greater than 1

    Specify when performing redundancy.

If omitted and not specified when creating the L-Server, None is set.
For details on redundancy, refer to "Server Recovery" in "D.2.1 When "Physical" is Selected for [Server type]" of the "ServerView Resource Orchestrator User's Guide".

Repurpose

(Repurpose)

(optional)

Specify whether or not to automatically release the servers allocated to the L-Server, when they are powered off.
When enabling automatic release, specify "true".
When not enabling automatic release, specify "false".
If omitted, no value is set. In this case, the value set in the definition file is used when creating the L-Server.
For details on the definition file, refer to "6.9.1 Installation" of the "ServerView Resource Orchestrator User's Guide".
