This section explains the registration of resources to resource pools.
When creating a cloning image common to tenants, an L-Server for the infrastructure administrator must be created.
To create an L-Server for the infrastructure administrator, resources must be registered to the global pool.
The resources that are required to be registered to the resource pool differ depending on the type of L-Server.
Resource Pool Types | Type of Resources Stored in the Resource Pool | Method of Registration to the Resource Pool | Necessity of Registration Based on Server Type | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Physical L-Server | Virtual L-Server | |||
VM pool | VM host resources | Refer to "7.1 VM Host Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE". | No | Yes |
Server pool | Physical server resources | Refer to "7.2 Physical Server Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE". | Yes | No |
Storage pool | Virtual storage resources or disk resources | Refer to "7.5 Storage Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE". | Yes | Yes |
Network pool | Network resources or network devices (firewalls) | For details on how to register network device resources, refer to "7.3 Network Resources" or "7.4 Network Devices" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE". | Yes | Yes |
Address pool | Address set resources | Refer to "7.6 Address Set Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE". | Yes | Yes (*1) |
Yes: Required
No: Not required
*1: When using RHEL5-Xen or RHEL-KVM, it is necessary to register MAC addresses.
Information
For details on changing the settings for, canceling registration, and deleting resources registered in a resource pool, refer to "12.3 Resource Operations" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Physical L-Server
Use the following procedure to register resources to the global pool.
Register Resources to a Server Pool
Register physical servers to the server pool.
Refer to "7.2 Physical Server Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Resources to a Storage Pool
The procedure differs depending on the storage resources to use.
When using virtual storage resources or disk resources created in advance
Refer to "7.5 Storage Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
When using iSCSI boot
Execute the operation command for iSCSI boot (rcxadm iscsictl register) to register the resources.
For details on the rcxadm iscsictl register command, refer to "1.7.12 rcxadm iscsictl" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
Register Resources to a Network Pool
Create network resources and register them to the network pool.
Refer to "7.3 Network Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Create network devices and register the ones whose type is Firewall to the network pool.
Refer to "7.4 Network Devices" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Resources to an Address Pool
For blade servers
For WWNs and MAC addresses, address set resources must be created and registered to the address pool.
Execute the rcxadm addrset create command to register WWNs and MAC addresses to the address pool.
For details on the rcxadm addrset create command, refer to "1.3.10 rcxadm addrset" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
For rack mount servers
For WWNs, it is necessary to create address set resources and register them in the address pool.
Since MAC addresses use the MAC address assigned to the physical network adapter, it is not necessary to create and register address set resources.
Execute the rcxadm addrset create command to register WWNs to the address pool.
For details on the rcxadm addrset create command, refer to "1.3.10 rcxadm addrset" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
Virtual L-Server
Use the following procedure to register resources to the global pool.
Register Resources to a VM Pool
Register a VM host in a VM pool.
Refer to "7.1 VM Host Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Resources to a Storage Pool
Procedures differ depending on the server virtualization software being used.
Refer to "Virtual Storage Resources and Disk Resources for Physical L-Servers" in "7.5 Storage Resources" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
[KVM]
Refer to "For Virtual L-Servers" in "7.5 Storage Resources" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Resources to a Network Pool
Create network resources and register them to the network pool.
Refer to "7.3 Network Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Create network devices and register the ones whose type is Firewall to the network pool.
Refer to "7.4 Network Devices" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register resources to the address pool [Xen] [KVM]
For MAC addresses, it is necessary to create address set resources and register them in the address pool.
Execute the rcxadm addrset create command to register MAC addresses to the address pool.
For details on the rcxadm addrset create command, refer to "1.3.10 rcxadm addrset" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
