Configuration of the target server for installation
This section explains how to create a new Admin Server. It explains the procedure for installing the Manager on a new server where only the operating system has been installed.
Before installing the Manager on an existing server, perform the procedure in "Appendix C Preparations and Checks before Installation".
Setting up the firewall
To install this product on an environment where a firewall function is being used, settings need to be specified so that the firewall function allows communications via the necessary ports.
Refer to the operating system manual for information on how to set up the firewall so as to allow communications to the necessary ports. Refer to "D.1 List of Port Numbers" for information on the ports used by this product. Connections must be allowed for "List of port numbers that need to receive packets from external servers".
Note
The following note applies when the operating system is Windows Server 2008:
The Windows firewall function is enabled by default, and so firewall exceptions must be specified for the port numbers and protocols that are to be used.
Checking the host name
The host name must be specified in order for the Admin Server to run correctly. Either enter a host name in the "hosts" file using no more than 256 characters, or specify DNS settings so that the host name can be resolved.
Setting up the Hosts file
<System drive>\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Note
Note the following points when registering the local host in the "hosts" file.
When setting the local host name for "127.0.0.1", be sure to first enter an IP address that can be looked up remotely. Alternatively, do not set the local host name for "127.0.0.1".
In the following example, the host name "remote1" is set with "10.10.10.10" for the IP address.
10.10.10.10 remote01 127.0.0.1 remote01 localhost.localdomain localhost
Checking the SMTP server
This product uses an email function. Set up the SMTP server to create an environment where email can be used.
Checking the system time
Specify settings so that the Admin Server and the Managed Servers both use the same system time.
If the times are different, it will not be possible to display the correct values for usage statuses in the Operation Portal and the Cloud Portal.
Setting up a server virtualization software product
The settings differ depending on the server virtualization software product used.
If a server virtualization software product is used, refer to the article for the server virtualization software product being used under "Appendix G Configuring Server Virtualization Software" in the "ServerView Resource Orchestrator Users' Guide" for details.
Determining the storage configuration
Determine the storage configuration required for the system.
The following table shows the storage configurations supported by this product.
Server type | L-Server system disk | L-Server data disk |
|---|---|---|
Vmware | Complies with the environment that can be used by VMware. | |
Hyper-V | SAN storage | SAN storage |
Setting up the storage environment
If a server virtualization software product is used, refer to the article for the server virtualization software product being used under " Appendix G Configuring Server Virtualization Software " in the "ServerView Resource Orchestrator Users' Guide" for details.
Setting up the network environment
To ensure security during operations, the following networks must be created in such a way that they are physically separated.
Refer to the article for network configurations in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide" for information on how to determine the network configuration.
Admin LAN
Connect to admin LAN when performing management tasks such as installing or maintaining L-Servers, or performing operations on the Manager.
Systems can be operated with greater safety by setting up the operating system firewall function or installing a firewall on the admin LAN in accordance with the port list in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide".
Public LAN
The public LAN is a network that general users connect to when using business applications and so on.
The following VLAN IDs are automatically set by this product in order to prevent L-Servers that perform independent jobs from connecting to one another:
The VLAN ID for the internal port of the LAN switch blade (for blade servers)
The VLAN ID for external ports must be set in advance.
The VLAN ID for the virtual switch
