D.6 Setup

The setup procedure for using a physical server as an L-Server is as follows:

Register Resources
1. Register VIOM coordination (for blade servers)
  Refer to "2.1 Registering VIOM Coordination" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
  Note
  It is not necessary to register a VIOM server profile.
  When creating a physical L-Server, VIOM server profiles are automatically created.
2. Register storage management software
  When storage management software is registered, RAID groups or aggregates that were created during pre-setup preparations are automatically registered in Resource Orchestrator as virtual storage resources.
  Execute the rcxadm storagemgr register command to register storage management software with Resource Orchestrator.
  For details on the rcxadm storagemgr register command, refer to "1.7.1 rcxadm storagemgr" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
3. Register managed servers
  1. Register Chassis (for Blade Servers)
    Refer to "2.4.1 Registering Chassis" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
  2. Register Managed Servers
    Refer to "2.4.2 Registering Blade Servers" or "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.
    - Create physical L-Servers
    - Start a physical L-Server for which only the configuration definition has been created
    Note
    When not using the default NIC, specify the NIC for admin LAN during the physical server registration.
    For details, refer to ""Apply Admin LAN NIC settings" checkbox" in "2.4.2 Registering Blade Servers" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
  3. Register LAN Switches
    Refer to "2.4.3 Registering LAN Switch Blades" and "2.5.2 Registering LAN Switches" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Register Resources in Resource Pools
1. Register physical server resources
  1. In the ROR console orchestration tree, right-click the server pool, and select [Register Resources] from the popup menu.
    The [Register Resources] dialog is displayed.
  2. Select the VM host to register.
  3. Click <OK>.
2. Register storage resources
  1. In the ROR console orchestration tree, right-click the target storage pool, and select [Register Resources] from the popup menu.
    The [Register Resources] dialog is displayed.
  2. Select the storage resource or disk resource to register.
  3. Click <OK>.
  Note
  Register a resource for iSCSI boot, using the operation command (rcxadm iscsictl) for iSCSI boot.
3. Register network resources
  If network resources are connected when creating an L-Server, LAN switch blades will be registered automatically as the physical server that the L-Server will operate on. If an image is specified, the IP address is configured.
  For details, refer to "D.6.1 Automatic Network Configuration".
  1. In the ROR console orchestration tree, right-click the target network pool, and select [Create Resource] from the popup menu.
    The [Create a network resource] dialog is displayed.
  2. Enter the items necessary for network resources.
    For details, refer to "7.3 Network Resources" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
  Note
  When the destination of a physical L-Server is a PRIMERGY BX920 series or BX922 series server and LAN switch blades (PG-SW109 or PG-SW201) are mounted in CB1 and CB2, only NIC1 and NIC2 can be used.
4. Register address set resources
  Creates and registers an address set resource in the address pool.
  For details, refer to "7.6 Address Set Resources" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Create an L-Server Template
1. Export an L-Server template
  Refer to "8.2.1 Exporting a Template" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
2. Edit an L-Server template
  Refer to "8.2.2 Editing a Template" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
3. Import an L-Server template
  Refer to "8.2.3 Importing a Template" of the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
