This section explains the registration order and registration method for resources.
Use the following procedure to register resources:
When Installing Physical L-Servers
When using a blade server
Register VIOM
Refer to "2.1 Registering VIOM Coordination" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Storage Management Software
Execute the rcxadm storagemgr register command.
For details on the rcxadm storagemgr register command, refer to "1.7.1 rcxadm storagemgr" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
When storage management software is registered, virtual storage resources and disk resources created in advance are automatically recognized.
Register Chassis
Refer to "2.4.1 Registering Chassis" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Managed Servers (within Chassis)
Refer to "2.4.2 Registering Blade Servers" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
When performing admin LAN NIC redundancy and registering a physical server, check the "Use Admin LAN redundancy" checkbox in the "Register Server" dialog when registering the server.
When directly specifying an IP address during physical L-Server creation, do not configure the same IP address on a managed server.
An error will occur during the following operations, if there are managed servers configured with the same IP addresses as those allocated to physical L-Servers, in other than physical servers.
Creation of physical L-Servers
Starting of a physical L-Server for which only the configuration definition has been created
Register LAN Switch Blades
Refer to "2.4.3 Registering LAN Switch Blades" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
To register a network device resource, network resource, or address set resource, specify a resource pool when creating the resource.
Register Network Device Resources
For details on how to register network device resources, refer to "2.7.2 Registering Network Devices" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Network Resources
For details on how to register network resources, refer to "2.6 Registering Network Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Address Set Resources
Register the MAC address and WWN address set resources to use for I/O virtualization with VIOM.
Execute the rcxadm addrset create command to register address set resources.
For details on the rcxadm addrset create command, refer to "1.3.10 rcxadm addrset" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
When using something other than a blade server
HBA address rename Settings
Refer to "8.2 HBA address rename Settings".
Register Storage Management Software
Execute the rcxadm storagemgr register command.
For details on the rcxadm storagemgr register command, refer to "1.7.1 rcxadm storagemgr" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
When storage management software is registered, virtual storage resources and disk resources created in advance are automatically recognized.
Register Managed Servers
Refer to "2.5.1 Registering Rack Mount or Tower Servers" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
When performing admin LAN NIC redundancy and registering a physical server, check the "Use Admin LAN redundancy" checkbox in the "Register Server" dialog when registering the server.
When directly specifying an IP address during physical L-Server creation, do not configure the same IP address on a managed server.
An error will occur during the following operations, if there are managed servers configured with the same IP addresses as those allocated to physical L-Servers, in other than physical servers.
