4.3.3 Creating and Managing L-Server Templates

L-Server Templates are templates that define the specifications for an L-Server in advance (such as the number of CPUs, memory capacity, disk capacity, and the number of NICs). L-Server Templates are marked up in XML format.

To create an L-Server Template, export the sample L-Server Template that comes with this product as a standard template, and then edit the L-Server Template that is output. When the edited L-Server Template is imported, a new L-Server Template will be created.

Note

Use "UTF-8" as the character encoding for L-Server Templates.
